A special congratulations goes to the teams for their overall standings: Boys' team – 3rd place Girls' team – 2nd place These results are a true reflection of the hard work and dedication shown by every competitor. Well done to all involved – a fantastic achievement! #proudtobeprimet

Students in 8C have been showcasing their skills and creativity in Food Technology, as part of their recent 'Cook's Choice' project. Each student planned and prepared their own dish, demonstrating independence, confidence and a range of practical cooking techniques. We were incredibly impressed with the effort, presentation and thought that went into each meal. A special mention goes to Ira, Annie, Rory and Esme, whose standout dishes really caught our attention – fantastic work! Well done to all of 8C for their enthusiasm and commitment in the kitchen!

The police have confirmed the incident is resolved, and all students will be dismissed to go home as normal at the end of the school day. Staff will be in duty including around the local area as we see students on their way home. Thank you for your support.

Unfortunately, we are having to postpone the year 11 leavers assembly, we haven't taken this decision lightly, however, as we have Ofsted in school over the next two days, it was felt that we wouldn't be able to celebrate with students in the way they deserve, as many leaders and pastoral staff will be tied up with the visit. We have changed the date to Tuesday 23rd June at 2.30pm. Prom on Thursday is going ahead as planned. We look forward to seeing all year 11 students then to celebrate at both events.

This year's Pendle Schools' Festival celebrated the theme "Proud to be Pendle – Proud to be Unique," showcasing the incredible talents of young people from across the borough. We were delighted that students from Colne Primet Academy had the opportunity to take part in the evening performances at the beautifully renovated Municipal Hall Theatre. Returning to its historic home after recent years at the Hippodrome Theatre, the festival once again brought together schools from across Pendle to celebrate the creativity, individuality and achievements of our young people. Our students represented Colne Primet Academy with pride, confidence and enthusiasm, performing in front of a packed audience and contributing to a truly memorable evening of music, drama and dance. Their hard work, dedication and commitment were evident throughout, and they should be incredibly proud of their achievements. The festival highlighted not only the outstanding talent within our schools but also the importance of community and celebrating what makes each of us unique. It was a wonderful opportunity for students to perform alongside their peers from across Pendle and be part of a long-standing tradition that has inspired audiences for generations. A huge thank you goes to the staff who supported the event and to the families who came along to cheer on our students. Congratulations to everyone involved in making the 2026 Pendle Schools' Festival such a fantastic celebration of the skills, creativity and spirit of young people across Pendle.

Well done to our year 10 rounders team for their fantastic performance in the tournament held at Primet. The standard of play was the best we have seen in a while at a Pendle schools tournament and all matches were well-fought contests. After beating Fisher More we had a match against Park where it was so close. Our fielding was top notch with some outstanding reactions and sequences of play, along with some strong batting skills and quick thinking to squeeze as many rounders and half rounders as possible. In the end it came right down to the last 2 balls where Park managed to win by 1 rounder. So proud of these girls who demonstrated excellent motivation and determination to finish runners-up. Truly Proud to be Primet!

"Starting secondary school is a big step and it's completely normal to have lots of questions. That's why our Year 7 Buddies are here to help. They can answer questions about homework, school timetables, finding your next lesson, or simply what to expect during your first few weeks with us. They'll share their tips on staying organised, making new friends and getting involved in school life. They'll also check in with you regularly to make sure you're settling in, feeling comfortable and becoming part of the Colne Primet Academy community. Because they've recently made the same journey from primary to secondary school, they understand exactly how you're feeling and can support you through those early days until everything starts to feel familiar. We can't wait to welcome all of our new Year 7 students to Colne Primet Academy in September. See you soon!"
