Those who met the criteria — 95%+ attendance, positive behaviour choices, and consistently demonstrating the Priory Standard — each enjoyed a dedicated hour on the climbing wall. The mobile unit was set up in the school yard, offering a fun and challenging activity for pupils to enjoy with their peers. A number of pupils impressed staff with their determination, including Year 7 Imogen who showed particular confidence and resilience when taking on the challenge. Organiser and Calder House Leader, Mrs Massey, said: “It was fantastic to see so many pupils embracing the challenge and supporting one another throughout the session. “Their positive attitude and willingness to have a go really stood out, and the feedback from the provider about our pupils’ behaviour and enthusiasm was extremely positive.” “It was a fantastic way to celebrate the end of the half term on a high – quite literally!” [![](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/rewards-climbing-wall-may-2026/IMG_2218.JPEG)](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/images/gallery/rewards-climbing-wall-may-2026/IMG_2218.JPEG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/rewards-climbing-wall-may-2026/IMG_2219.JPEG)](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/images/gallery/rewards-climbing-wall-may-2026/IMG_2219.JPEG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/rewards-climbing-wall-may-2026/IMG_2221.JPEG)](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/images/gallery/rewards-climbing-wall-may-2026/IMG_2221.JPEG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/rewards-climbing-wall-may-2026/IMG_2223.JPEG)](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/images/gallery/rewards-climbing-wall-may-2026/IMG_2223.JPEG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/rewards-climbing-wall-may-2026/IMG_2224.JPEG)](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/images/gallery/rewards-climbing-wall-may-2026/IMG_2224.JPEG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/rewards-climbing-wall-may-2026/IMG_2226.JPEG)](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/images/gallery/rewards-climbing-wall-may-2026/IMG_2226.JPEG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/rewards-climbing-wall-may-2026/IMG_2228.JPEG)](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/images/gallery/rewards-climbing-wall-may-2026/IMG_2228.JPEG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/rewards-climbing-wall-may-2026/IMG_2237.JPEG)](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/images/gallery/rewards-climbing-wall-may-2026/IMG_2237.JPEG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/rewards-climbing-wall-may-2026/IMG_2244.JPEG)](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/images/gallery/rewards-climbing-wall-may-2026/IMG_2244.JPEG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/rewards-climbing-wall-may-2026/IMG_2243.JPEG)](https://files.schudio.com/penwortham-priory-academy/images/gallery/rewards-climbing-wall-may-2026/IMG_2243.JPEG) [Extra Curricular](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/extra-curricular) [Well-being](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/well-being) [ Year 10 Footballers Into The South Ribble Cup Finals](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/2026-05-22-year-10-footballers-into-the-south-ribble-cup-finals) [Year 7 Pupils Train to Support Visually Impaired Classmate ](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/2026-06-02-year-7-pupils-train-to-support-visually-impaired-classmate) ### 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.
