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. 

Mrs Farley, Transition Manager, can be contacted via email at l.farley@priory.lancs.sch.uk

Facebook Group for 20225 Intake

We have set up a Facebook group exclusively for parents of Year 7 who are joining us from September 2025. Whilst we will post bulletins in the group, these will only be reinforcements and reminders of information that have 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 2025. 

Click on the link to join >> Penwortham Priory Academy 2025 Intake | Facebook. You will then be asked to provide the name of your child before being accepted to the group.
