The college created a range of bespoke sessions for pupils to sample life in the Engineering department, delivered by experienced college staff. The visit focused on Aeronautical, Automotive and General Engineering which gave Priory pupils the opportunity to explore new areas of engineering from a different learning perspective and enhance their current subject knowledge. Technology Teacher, Mrs Lockwood, who accompanied the pupils, said "All the students thoroughly enjoyed the activities and found the visit inspiring and informative, helping to inform their career choices for the future." ### Preston College Engineering Sampling Day February 2024 [![](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/preston-college-engineering-sampling-day-february-2024/Preston%20College%20Engineering%20Feb%2024%20(1).jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/images/gallery/preston-college-engineering-sampling-day-february-2024/Preston%20College%20Engineering%20Feb%2024%20(1).jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/preston-college-engineering-sampling-day-february-2024/Preston%20College%20Engineering%20Feb%2024%20(2).jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/images/gallery/preston-college-engineering-sampling-day-february-2024/Preston%20College%20Engineering%20Feb%2024%20(2).jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/preston-college-engineering-sampling-day-february-2024/Preston%20College%20Engineering%20Feb%2024%20(3).jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/images/gallery/preston-college-engineering-sampling-day-february-2024/Preston%20College%20Engineering%20Feb%2024%20(3).jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/preston-college-engineering-sampling-day-february-2024/Preston%20College%20Engineering%20Feb%2024%20(4).jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/images/gallery/preston-college-engineering-sampling-day-february-2024/Preston%20College%20Engineering%20Feb%2024%20(4).jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/preston-college-engineering-sampling-day-february-2024/Preston%20College%20Engineering%20Feb%2024%20(5).jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/images/gallery/preston-college-engineering-sampling-day-february-2024/Preston%20College%20Engineering%20Feb%2024%20(5).jpeg) [Technology](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/technology) [Careers](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/careers) [Extra Curricular](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/extra-curricular) [Year 10](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/year-10) [ Year 10s introduced to volunteering](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/2024-02-21-year-10s-introduced-to-volunteering) [Easter bingo - 27 March ](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/2024-02-27-easter-bingo-27-march) ### 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.
