Eric was initially part of the children’s team but the adult’s team needed a bit of help so Eric was on hand to assist his mum too! “We had to climb a climbing wall as many times we could as a team over 30 minutes,” said Eric. “I climbed the wall 25 times altogether for both teams as my mum’s team needed a bit of help and they won with 122 climbs. “My sister and I raised £133 by ourselves and overall the event raised over £4500.” Baby Beat raises money to support sick and premature babies and their families. ![](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/images/news/Eric_Climbing.png) [Year 7](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/year-7) [Personal Development](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/personal-development) [ Priory Pupils Head Back to Primary School To Unveil Donated Sculptures](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/2025-09-19-priory-pupils-head-back-to-primary-school-to-unveil-donated-sculptures) [Lunchtime Fun with Inter House Water Relay Challenge ](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/2025-09-25-lunchtime-fun-with-inter-house-water-relay-challenge) ### 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.
