Almost 450 pupils achieved this recognition during the Autumn term and on Thursday, 19 December, those who chose to be personally presented by the Principal got to receive their rewards. Pupils who have opted out of this have their certificates and badges presented to them by their Head of Year. Priory+ was introduced to encourage and reward pupils for working on their own Personal Development. At Penwortham Priory Academy we believe that strong Personal Development provision contributes to making a positive difference to pupils’ lives. The opportunities provided not only allow them to engage in activities they are interested in, but enable them to explore and build a strong pathway to, and foundation for, a successful future. Our activities fit into five overarching strands, which supplement our Character and Culture Personal Development sessions in Learning for Life. There are five strands: Culture & Heritage \| Future Citizens \| Health & Well-Being \| Skill Builders \| Bright Futures ### The Priory+ Award Our Personal Development Award Programme aims to encourage pupils to engage in a wide range of activities, both in and out of school, that contribute further to their own personal development, and rewards them for doing so. Personal Development is important for everyone at every life stage. It is important as it empowers us to grow, adapt and lead more fulfilling lives. It helps us develop valuable skills, self-awareness, and resilience, which can positively impact various aspects of our lives, from relationships to career success and overall well-being. **Rewards** Priory+ is rewarded with a star badge, certificates for pupil's Record of Achievement and Achievement Points towards trips. **Criteria** Pupils will achieve a star when they: Complete one activity from each of the five strands, in each term. One activity must be a co-curricular club/activity/group from the timetable provided. **Awards Achieved Autumn Term** | Bronze Award 1 | 182 | |---|---| | Bronze Award 2 | 77 | | Bronze Award 3 | 65 | | Silver Award 1 | 53 | | Silver Award 2 | 20 | | Silver Award 3 | 20 | | Gold Award 1 | 14 | | Gold Award 2 | 5 | | Gold Award 3 | 4 | | Platinum Award | 4 | | Total | 444 | [Learning for Life](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/learning-for-life) [Extra Curricular](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/extra-curricular) [Personal Development](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/personal-development) [ Oliver and Alex: I love Maths because...](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/2024-12-20-oliver-and-alex-i-love-maths-because) [End of term Christmas entertainers ](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/2025-01-09-end-of-term-christmas-entertainers) ### 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.
