Mr Bedford and Mrs Potter took the opportunity to inspire some future scientists, as well as future Priory pupils. Mr Bedford recalled the story of Sir Isaac Newton and his reflections on why the apples from his tree always fell to the ground, leading to the revolutionary theory of gravity. Mrs Potter recounted the story of Archimedes reflecting on how he could assess the purity of the king's crown before his famous "eureka!" moment. We received some great feedback from our neighbouring school and the Headteacher Miss Penarski commented, "Thanks to Mr Bedford and Mrs Potter for coming over and delivering a great assembly on Reflection. Our pupils found it very interesting to hear the stories and were talking positively about both science and Priory in the days that followed." ![](https://penwortham-priory-academy.schudio.com/images/news/IMG_1414.JPG) [Science](https://penwortham-priory-academy.schudio.com/news/tag/science) [Transition](https://penwortham-priory-academy.schudio.com/news/tag/transition) [Community](https://penwortham-priory-academy.schudio.com/news/tag/community) [Primaries](https://penwortham-priory-academy.schudio.com/news/tag/primaries) [ Celebrating Ramadan](https://penwortham-priory-academy.schudio.com/news/2024-03-06-celebrating-ramadan) [Four house 'Connect' for games challenge ](https://penwortham-priory-academy.schudio.com/news/2024-03-08-four-house-connect-for-games-challenge) ### Penwortham Priory Academy Crow Hills Road Penwortham Preston Lancashire PR1 0JE 01772 320250 ### Useful Links - [New Year 7 Transition](https://penwortham-priory-academy.schudio.com/about-priory/transition) - [The School Day](https://penwortham-priory-academy.schudio.com/parents/the-school-day) - [Facility Hire](https://penwortham-priory-academy.schudio.com/facility-hire-at-priory) - [Term Dates](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/parents/termdates) - [Letters](https://penwortham-priory-academy.schudio.com/parents/letters) ### Useful Links - [Newsletters](https://penwortham-priory-academy.schudio.com/parents/newsletters) - [OFSTED](https://penwortham-priory-academy.schudio.com/about-priory/ofsted-report) - [Online Payments](https://penwortham-priory-academy.schudio.com/parents/internet-payments) - [Staff Contact](https://penwortham-priory-academy.schudio.com/staff/staff-contact-list) - [Vacancies](https://penwortham-priory-academy.schudio.com/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.
