Greencroft is a woodland area located just off Hill Road South in Penwortham. We were tasked with planting new trees within the woodland that will fill out the area, add a variety of trees and eventually replace older trees as they die out. Mrs Massey, Science teacher and ECO Committee Lead, said, "The four boys got stuck in and really impressed the community group. During the two hours we were there we planted around 40 trees". We look forward to going back in the future and looking at our work. Well done boys - Alfie K, Harley F-N, Charlie T, Kenzie S ![](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/images/news/valley_tree_planting_4.jpg) ![](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/images/news/Greencroft_Map.png) ![](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/images/news/Valley_tree_planting_1.jpg)![](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/images/news/valley_tree_planting_2.jpg)![](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/images/news/valley_tree_planting_3.jpg) [Learning for Life](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/learning-for-life) [Community](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/community) [Extra Curricular](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/extra-curricular) [Year 8](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/year-8) [Personal Development](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/personal-development) [ Year 8 success in 7-a-side competition](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/2023-12-20-year-8-success-in-7-a-side-competition) [Welcome back: New Year New Term ](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/2024-01-08-welcome-back-new-year-new-term) ### 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.
