Freddie is a member of Preston Pirates BMX Club and said: “I got into it when I was riding around the Guild Wheel, aged around six or seven, and I saw some riders on a track. I stopped and watched and they invited me down and I have taken it from there.” Freddie has competed all over Europe, including France and Belgium, taking part in European and World BMX competitions. “I am a bit of a risk taker so I enjoy the challenges of BMX riding,” said Freddie. “I also enjoy coaching and I coach some of the younger age groups at Preston Pirates.” Freddie was National and British champion for nine-year-olds, he was double champion aged 10 and has just won the 11-year-old National and British titles. “The National title is won over a series of eight races in the UK and you pick up points over the series. “The British title is a one-off day, it was in Derby, and you have to go through the rounds with eight competing in the final and I won. “My dream is to compete in the Olympics.” [PE & Sport](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/pe-sport) [Year 7](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/year-7) [Personal Development](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/personal-development) [ Class of 1970 go back to school for anniversary celebrations](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/2023-10-03-class-of-1970-go-back-to-school-for-anniversary-celebrations) [Inter House Cross Country ](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/2023-10-05-inter-house-cross-country) ### Penwortham Priory Academy Crow Hills Road Penwortham Preston Lancashire PR1 0JE 01772 320250 ### Useful Links - [New Year 7 Transition](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/about-priory/transition) - [The School Day](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/parents/the-school-day) - [Facility Hire](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/facility-hire-at-priory) - [Term Dates](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/parents/termdates) - [Letters](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/parents/letters) ### Useful Links - [Newsletters](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/parents/newsletters) - [OFSTED](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/about-priory/ofsted-report) - [Online Payments](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/parents/internet-payments) - [Staff Contact](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/staff/staff-contact-list) - [Vacancies](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/staff/vacancies) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/priorystc) - [X](https://twitter.com/@priorystc) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/penworthampriory/) Penwortham Priory Academy Trust is operating as a single academy trust.
