We have hundreds of books out in circulation and really need them back for the benefit of all pupils. The school library is integral to teaching and learning and plays a very important role in promoting the habit of reading for pleasure as well as enriching students’ intellectual growth so we hope you can appreciate that the library must be able to maintain its stock for the benefit of all pupils. Books should be returned to your English teacher. This is an amnesty so no sanctions will be given. **Mrs Elliott English Teacher & Head Librarian** [ Priory appoints its head prefects](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/2020-09-10-priory-appoints-its-head-prefects) [Abigail marks her words with the English Department ](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/2020-09-15-abigail-marks-her-words-with-the-english-department) ### Penwortham Priory Academy Crow Hills Road Penwortham Preston Lancashire PR1 0JE 01772 320250 ### Useful Links - [New Year 7 Transition](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/about-priory/transition) - [The School Day](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/parents/the-school-day) - [Facility Hire](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/facility-hire-at-priory) - [Term Dates](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/parents/termdates) - [Letters](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/parents/letters) ### Useful Links - [Newsletters](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/parents/newsletters) - [OFSTED](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/about-priory/ofsted-report) - [Online Payments](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/parents/internet-payments) - [Staff Contact](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/staff/staff-contact-list) - [Vacancies](https://www.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.
