Transition

At Penwortham Priory Academy we pride ourselves on a strong and successful transition programme. This allows our new students a smooth and enjoyable transition from primary school to Priory.

Our programme of transition is wide ranging and spans the full academic year. We work very closely with our feeder primary schools throughout the year as well as a number of opportunities for Years 4, 5 and 6 students to visit Priory.

A number of our staff work in the primary schools on exciting projects including ICT, Maths, Science, Physical Education and Design & Technology.

Transition Evening (New Pupil & Parents) - Date Change

Due to the England knock-out game likely to take place on Wednesday, 1 July, and in response to a number of parents getting in touch, we have taken the decision to move our New Pupil& Parents Evening to ensure as many families as possible are able to attend. We hope you will appreciate that we want the turnout to be strong and inclusive, and therefore the event will now take place on Monday, 29 June, with all arrangements remaining the same.  Please join us from 5:30pm for a 5.50pm-7pm meeting. 

Summer School

Wednesday, 19 August and Thursday, 20 August 2026.

For new intake Year 7 pupils only. Registration information can be found in the second letter to parents (copy below).

Facebook Group for 2026 Intake

Once again, we have set up a Facebook group exclusively for parents of Year 7 who are joining us from September 2026. Whilst we will post bulletins in the group, these will only be reinforcements and reminders of information that has already been issued directly to parents.  In addition, it will also act as a forum for you to ask general questions and for everyone to get to know one another.   It will remain open until the end of the Autumn term 2026. 

Click on the link to join >> www.facebook.com/groups/priory2026intake You will then be asked to provide the name of your child before being accepted to the group.
