We received a message of praise from a resident who had previously had the boys help with car washing. On this occasion, they went one step further by including her three-year-old son in their activity. The boys were described as being incredibly kind and patient, making the young boy feel involved and valued. At the end of the task, they even shook his hand and thanked him for helping – a small gesture that left a lasting impression. The resident, herself a teacher, took the time to write and commend the boys, describing them as “a credit to themselves, their families and Priory,” and recognising how meaningful it is to hear about students making such a positive contribution beyond the classroom. Head of Year, Mrs Bullock, added “We are extremely proud of Max, Max and Jack. Their actions reflect the values we aim to instil in all our pupils: respect, kindness and a genuine commitment to others. Well done, boys.” ![](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/images/news/IMG_7958.jpeg) [Community](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/community) [Year 8](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/year-8) [Personal Development](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/personal-development) [ Priory Welcomes Back Former Pupil For Career Inspiration Session](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/2026-07-03-priory-welcomes-back-former-pupil-for-career-inspiration-session) [Maths Champions Again at LUSoM Challenge ](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/2026-07-05-maths-champions-again-at-lusom-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.
