Rosie took part in the UKMT Junior Maths Challenge for Years 7 and 8. It’s a national multiple-choice competition and 95 Priory pupils had a go. Rosie was Best in School with a score of 84 and admitted: “I didn’t expect that at all. I felt like I guessed at a lot of it so I was shocked when I had the highest score. “I do enjoy Maths but my favourite subject is Food Tech. I want to be a primary school teacher so Maths will help.” Emma was the best in Year 7 with 80 points. She said: “I was surprised as it was tricky but it was a good challenge.” These two will take part in the second round of the Junior Maths Challenge, the Junior Kangaroo. Other pupils collected certificates for achieving Silver in the challenge. Millie said: “It was pressure doing it and it was hard.” Heather added: “I enjoyed it – it was a good challenge.” [Maths](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/maths) [Extra Curricular](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/extra-curricular) [ Year 10 Footballers Into The South Ribble Cup Finals](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/2026-05-22-year-10-footballers-into-the-south-ribble-cup-finals) [Year 7 Pupils Train to Support Visually Impaired Classmate ](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/2026-06-02-year-7-pupils-train-to-support-visually-impaired-classmate) ### 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.
