It's the last week of the academic year and inevitably we say goodbye to some of our staff.

On Friday, Miss Lewis-Lavender will take off her apron for the last time as Priory's Food Tech teacher retires after 39 years.

There was lots of activity at Priory last night as we welcomed our new pupils.

Today they return for a sampling day, experiencing lessons in English, Maths and Science. Children will head home at 3pm.

There will surely be some exhausted young people by the end of the day!

Not all (s)heroes wear capes – some wear lab coats🥼! We need more #WomenInScience who defy the gender bias that holds girls back.

After representing @LSFAGirls earlier in May, Year 8 Jazmin now has her sights set on playing for @Rovers

She admits it will be hard leaving @Lhjfc but she has to take the next step in her football career.

It was a hat-trick of victories last night as our Yr 9, 10 & 11s won the South Ribble Cup Final for their year group.

Thank you to all that came to watch; it made a fantastic atmosphere.

The Year 7 team also made it to their cup final. Date TBC.

Today we invited feeder primary schools to a Science Gifted & Talented Day.

Teams worked on an emergency communications challenge & competed to design/create a solution to a real-life engineering problem.

The activity was adapted from a Yr 8 lesson so they did remarkably well!
