The Year 7 attends North West Fight Academy in Preston and trains almost every day. “I went to the British Nationals in Manchester and won four fights and lost one. I fought for the gold and silver medals and ended up collecting a bronze on the day. “I then competed in an Empire Grappling event in Wigan. I came third in the 40kg Year 10/11 group – it is heavier than what I would normally fight at. “Then, at the same event, I won a gold medal in the 40kg 13/14 year group. “Earlier this month I took part in an MMA fight in Preston - this was my third MMA fight of my career and I have now won all three. “I have got a number of events coming up in May in MMA and Ju-Jitsu.” [PE & Sport](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/pe-sport) [Extra Curricular](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/extra-curricular) [Year 7](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/year-7) [Personal Development](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/personal-development) [ Four house 'Connect' for games challenge](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/2024-03-08-four-house-connect-for-games-challenge) [Match the shelfie to the selfie for World Book Day ](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/2024-03-16-match-the-shelfie-to-the-selfie-for-world-book-day) ### 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.
