During their Learning for Life lesson, pupils watched a BBC Bitesize video where Norma, only 11 years on VE Day, speaks about the day itself, rationing, food and cooking more generally, and the ‘Blitz spirit’. Mr Farron topped off his display in the Rose Garden with a Union Jack surrounded by vibrant red ceramic poppies whilst English teacher, Mrs Brindle, introduced Jim to everyone entering or passing by EN5. ![](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/images/news/VE_Day_80_Jim.jpg) ![](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/images/news/VE_Day_80_Jim_2(1).jpg) [Learning for Life](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/learning-for-life) [History](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/history) [Citizenship](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/citizenship) [British Values](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/british-values) [ Year 11 Pupil Hits the Keys to Success in National Piano Contest](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/2025-05-15-year-11-pupil-hits-the-keys-to-success-in-national-piano-contest) [Year 9 Prove #TheseGirlsCan ](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/2025-05-19-year-9-prove-thesegirlscan) ### 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.
