Penwortham Priory Post 4 October 2019 Attendance Winning Forms Penwortham Priory Post Each week the attendance officer calculates the form with the best attendance for ‘Year 11s’ and ‘The ‘Rest’ of the school. As the Year 11 form groups are smaller than the others, they are more likely to achieve full attendance. Therefore to ensure fairness, results have been separated out.

Learn to Succeed Sponsored Walk - Postponed Due To Weather Due to the recent torrential rainfall and an inclement weather forecast we have unfortunately taken the decision to postpone the sponsored walk from the date planned next Tuesday. The walk will still take place and we will make a decision of the new date by observing the forecast. We will aim to let all parties know of the rescheduled date at least three days in advance. The focus therefore, at this point in time, remains on the continued fundraising. Due to the postponement, sponsor forms should be returned by Thurs, 10 October. We are raising money for the development of a legacy garden to add to our outstanding open space environment. The monies raised from the 6km Penwortham walk aim to provide us all with the best working environment and leave a legacy for the next generation of pupils coming to Priory. We are hoping to have the same fantastic response as we did four years ago when we raised enough to purchase a minibus. Frequently Asked Questions...Q&A with Mr Watters • On the day, pupils should wear appropriate clothing for the walk (see below). They will remain in these clothes through the rest of the day; pupils do not need to bring their uniform to change into after. • Replacement or additional forms can be collected from the school office. • Whilst we are encouraging pupils to raise as much as they can, we understand that not all families are in a position to do this. Children will not be given a detention or likewise for lack of fundraising effort. • There have been several pupils who have asked if they can RUN the sponsored walk. The answer is YES. Mr Eastham and Mr Graham have agreed to join those running. We need to know if pupils are intending to do this prior to the sponsorship day. Pupils must see Mr Watters to register their interest as soon as possible. • Pupils should return sponsor forms to their form tutor next Thurs, 10 October. We will then have a few days to sort out any pupils who have forgotten their forms. Sponsor forms will be returned to pupils after they have completed the walk so that they can collect the pledged money. Money will need to be returned to school within 7 days of the walk. • So, sponsor money is to be collected after the walk has taken place. What to wear? Pupils can wear their own suitable clothing. The sponsored walk will eventually go through some fairly boggy path so trainers with a good grip would be best, with a spare pair of shoes to wear in school after. A good waterproof will be essential. What else will they need? Pupils will need a refillable water bottle to fill prior to and after the walk to remain hydrated. We are also asked through risk assessments to ensure pupils wear sun block. Bringing a couple of biscuits/snacks would be a good idea as the dining room will not be open until an early lunch once all pupils are back. Any further enquiries can be forwarded to organiser and geography teacher, Mr Watters [email protected]. sch.uk. Learn to Succeed Priory’s Referees are on the Ball! Penwortham Priory Academy students are hoping to keep their cards in their pockets as they officiate at the South Ribble Primary School Central Venue Football Tournament. The Year 8 and 9 students have all undergone a course with the Lancashire Football Association, the Football Laws Awareness Course. Following the completion of the course, students were able to complete the Basic Referee Course and they can now referee in the local leagues and at the South Ribble tournament, for Years 5 and 6, which is held on Priory pitches. “Students were selected due to their excellent commitment to extra- curricular sport and their enthusiasm to do it,” said Mr Bullock, Head of PE & School Sport at Priory. “A lot of those who did the course play football and it gives them a broader view of the game. They understand that the job of the referee isn’t an easy one!” One of the students Connor Players wanted for girls only teams said: “I enjoyed the course but there were a lot of rules, Make new friends, have fun and learn new skills there were a lot of new rules as well I didn’t know about.” Referees: C Clark, O Snape, A Evans, L Cawood, I Marshall, H Jones, A Robinson, Z Alty, R Bertram, J Thompson, C Mitchell, K Read (missing from photo), R Kane, L Webster.

  • A Walk Around St. Leonard's Parish Boundary, Penwortham
    A Walk around St. Leonard’s Parish Boundary, Penwortham. Background. Penwortham is one of the ancient parishes of Lancashire. Until the 17th century it comprised of the townships of Longton, Howick, Penwortham, Farington and Hutton. In the early medieval period it also comprised of Brindle. The earliest written record of a church at Penwortham dates from the 1140’s. Map courtesy of Alan Crosby from his book “Penwortham in the past” Middleforth the township (which acquired it’s name from the middle ford on the River Ribble) was gradually growing in the early first part of the 19th century and the Vicar of St. Mary’s Rev. W.E. Rawstorne decided that the time was right to build a chapel school. Middleforth Chapel School opened in 1861 in the village, situated on the corner of Leyland Road and Marshall’s Brow. In 1901 a prefabricated iron church was built next to the school. This was in use until the present church was opened in 1970. As St. Leonard’s Church in Middleforth grew further, it was soon able to manage its own affairs and in 1959 became a conventional district but still in the Parish of St. Mary, Penwortham. Further growth took place with Penwortham becoming part of the Central Lancashire New Town. It was therefore decided that St. Leonard’s could stand alone from St. Mary’s and a new benefice of the Parish of St. Leonard, Penwortham was established on 1 April 1972 by an Order in Council dated 1 March 1972. The area concerned was taken out of the ancient parish of St.

The solution then moves back to its original position below the table. To extinguish the candle, the device is again switched on. However, when reaching the top of the candle a heat sensor triggers Carbon Dioxide to be expelled through the same hole as the Natural Gas. The two gases will not mix due to the fact Carbon Dioxide is "heavier" than air, and Natural Gas is "lighter" than air. This results in the flame being extinguished and the solution is ready to begin its cycle again.

Thank you for your cooperation during my visit to the trust with my colleague, Stephen Bentham, Her Majesty’s Inspector, on 28 to 31 January 2019. Please pass on our thanks to your staff and other stakeholders who kindly gave up their time to meet us. The findings from the summary evaluation and a wider consideration of the trust’s overall performance are set out below. Summary of main findings ◼ Trustees (‘Directors’) have a clear vision for the trust and are committed to making a positive difference to pupils’ lives. ◼ The quality of education in most of the trust’s schools is improving, particularly in the case of those that joined the trust having previously been judged inadequate by Ofsted. ◼ Pupils achieve well overall in the primary phase but are less successful in the secondary phase. ◼ Although improving the quality of teaching and learning is a priority for the trust, there is more to be done to ensure that teaching in key stages 3 and 4 enables pupils to achieve as well as they can.

    LBP0018 Written evidence submitted by The Northern Powerhouse Education Consortium Education Select Committee Left behind white pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds Inquiry SUBMISSION FROM THE NORTHERN POWERHOUSE EDUCATION CONSORTIUM Introduction and summary of recommendations Northern Powerhouse Education Consortium are a group of organisations with focus on education and disadvantage campaigning in the North of England, including SHINE, Northern Powerhouse Partnership (NPP) and Tutor Trust. This is a joint submission to the inquiry, acting together as ‘The Northern Powerhouse Education Consortium’. We make the case that ethnicity is a major factor in the long term disadvantage gap, in particular white working class girls and boys. These issues are highly concentrated in left behind towns and the most deprived communities across the North of England. In the submission, we recommend strong actions for Government in particular: o New smart Opportunity Areas across the North of England. o An Emergency Pupil Premium distribution arrangement for 2020-21, including reform to better tackle long-term disadvantage. o A Catch-up Premium for the return to school. o Support to Northern Universities to provide additional temporary capacity for tutoring, including a key role for recent graduates and students to take part in accredited training. About the Organisations in our consortium SHINE (Support and Help IN Education) are a charity based in Leeds that help to raise the attainment of disadvantaged children across the Northern Powerhouse. Trustees include Lord Jim O’Neill, also a co-founder of SHINE, and Raksha Pattni. The Northern Powerhouse Partnership’s Education Committee works as part of the Northern Powerhouse Partnership (NPP) focusing on the Education and Skills agenda in the North of England.
