The day included a presentation by Wasted Lives from Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service. The Service brought with them a crashed car from a speeding young driver who tragically died at the wheel in East Lancashire. He was going too fast, his car hit a tree and he died instantly. Mr Taylor, who lead the day, said “Given the tragic news which our school community has had to digest this school year, the day took on particular poignancy for all involved. “The message was very powerful and brought home to our pupils the fragility of life and the dangers of the roads. We hope the message will be sobering and long lasting for them." ### Year 10 Learning for Life Day Wasted Lives [![](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-10-learning-for-life-day-wasted-lives/IMG_0996.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/images/gallery/year-10-learning-for-life-day-wasted-lives/IMG_0996.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-10-learning-for-life-day-wasted-lives/IMG_0997.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/images/gallery/year-10-learning-for-life-day-wasted-lives/IMG_0997.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-10-learning-for-life-day-wasted-lives/IMG_0999.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/images/gallery/year-10-learning-for-life-day-wasted-lives/IMG_0999.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-10-learning-for-life-day-wasted-lives/IMG_1001.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/images/gallery/year-10-learning-for-life-day-wasted-lives/IMG_1001.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-10-learning-for-life-day-wasted-lives/IMG_1002.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/images/gallery/year-10-learning-for-life-day-wasted-lives/IMG_1002.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-10-learning-for-life-day-wasted-lives/IMG_1003.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/images/gallery/year-10-learning-for-life-day-wasted-lives/IMG_1003.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-10-learning-for-life-day-wasted-lives/IMG_1005.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/images/gallery/year-10-learning-for-life-day-wasted-lives/IMG_1005.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-10-learning-for-life-day-wasted-lives/IMG_1006.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/images/gallery/year-10-learning-for-life-day-wasted-lives/IMG_1006.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-10-learning-for-life-day-wasted-lives/IMG_1007.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/images/gallery/year-10-learning-for-life-day-wasted-lives/IMG_1007.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-10-learning-for-life-day-wasted-lives/IMG_1008.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/images/gallery/year-10-learning-for-life-day-wasted-lives/IMG_1008.jpeg) [Learning for Life](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/learning-for-life) [Year 10](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/year-10) [Pastoral](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/pastoral) [ Year 7s Shine in Design Technology Challenge](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/2025-06-19-year-7s-shine-in-design-technology-challenge) [Celebrating Eid al-Adha with Sweet Treats and Shared Culture ](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/2025-06-24-celebrating-eid-al-adha-with-sweet-treats-and-shared-culture) ### 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.
