We believe we can have a great school that delivers quality and equality for all our students. This involves imagination, courage and collective action, with capacity building at its heart – leadership capacity, pedagogical capacity and the capacity for creativity and action. Our journey to great, and our ability to stay there, relies upon the values and behaviours of us, the staff, to propel continuing improvement. Staff at Priory must therefore be willing to work to our value set. We are committed, we are positive, we evolve. The three pillars of Priory. The below documents demonstrate what it means for us as staff to work at Priory: ### Working at Priory Our Journey To Great 673 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/files/documents/Working-at-priory/PPA_Journey_to_great_Document.pdf) PPA Strategic Plan On A Page 418 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/files/documents/Working-at-priory/PPA_Whole_School_Strategic_Plan_on_a_Page_Jan_25.pdf) PPA Teaching & Learning Plan On A Page 512 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/files/documents/Working-at-priory/T-L_Plan_on_a_Page_2023_tweaks_Uploaded_Jan_25.pdf) PPA Termly Continuous Professional Development 42 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/files/documents/Working-at-priory/CPD_Schedule_2024_25_First_3_Columns_For_Web.pdf) ### Related News ![Image of Mr Farron Picks Up More Gardening Accolades at Local ‘In Bloom’ Event](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/imagecache/720x440c/news/IMG_4521_Chris_and_Certs_Cropped.jpeg) 4 September 2026 ### [Mr Farron Picks Up More Gardening Accolades at Local ‘In Bloom’ Event](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/2026-09-04-mr-farron-picks-up-more-gardening-accolades-at-local-in-bloom-event) ![Image of Roll Out the Red Carpet!](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/imagecache/720x440c/news/1000017400_cropped.jpg) 11 July 2026 ### [Roll Out the Red Carpet!](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/2026-07-11-roll-out-the-red-carpet) ![Image of National Recognition For Priory’s Business Development Leaders](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/imagecache/720x440c/news/1781697515109.jpg) 1 July 2026 ### [National Recognition For Priory’s Business Development Leaders](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/2026-07-01-national-recognition-for-priory-s-business-development-leaders) [View All News](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/staff) ### Staff - [CPD](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/staff/professional-development) - [Office 365](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/staff/office) - [Staff Email Contact List](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/staff/staff-contact-list) - [Staff List](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/staff) - [Staff Workload and Well-Being](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/staff/staff-workload-and-well-being) - [Vacancies](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/staff/vacancies) - [Working at Priory](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/staff/working-at-priory) ### 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.
