Centre-back Alegria is the captain of Priory’s successful Year 7 team who won the South Ribble Schools Sport Premier League after they won all their matches last term. He is also signed up to Championship side Blackpool FC’s Academy. Alegria said: “I used to live in London and was at Tottenham, Chelsea and Arsenal’s Academy. “We moved to Preston and I was at Liverpool until Under 9 level but was released. “I then had a trial with Blackpool and have been there since Under 10s – I am now Under 12s. “It is nerve-racking each year waiting to see if you have a new contract but I want to be a professional footballer. “I have enjoyed being Priory’s captain, telling people what to do! We have had a good season so far. I have scored a few goals.” [PE & Sport](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/pe-sport) [Year 7](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/year-7) [Personal Development](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/personal-development) [ Year 10 Engineering pupils visit Leyland Trucks](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/2025-01-11-year-10-engineering-pupils-visit-leyland-trucks) [Year 8 become young engineers for IET's Faraday Challenge ](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/2025-01-15-year-8-become-young-engineers-for-iet-s-faraday-challenge) ### 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.
