Colne Primet Academy Students Enjoy Inspiring Careers Fair Students from Colne Primet Academy had an exciting and inspiring day as they attended the Pendle Education Trust Careers Fair. The event brought together a wide range of colleges, employers and organisations, giving students the opportunity to learn more about different industries and career pathways. Throughout the day, students spoke with representatives from Nelson and Colne College Sixth Form , East Lancashire UC. and a variety of employers and organisations including Auditel, Reed, Burnley FC in the Community, the RAF, the Army, the DWP, Hayes and Taylor Shaw. The exhibitors shared valuable insights into their sectors, helping students to understand the many opportunities available to them in the future. Students were enthusiastic and engaged as they explored the different stalls, asked questions and discovered more about the skills and qualifications needed for different careers. It was fantastic to see students thinking about their aspirations and gaining inspiration for their next steps. The day was a great success, and all students from Colne Primet Academy had an amazing time learning about the many possibilities open to them as they begin to consider their future career paths.

Year 5 children from Lord Street Primary School Colne, Marsden Community Primary School and Castercliff Primary Academy have enjoyed becoming Element Hunters this week along with "Dr Z" and Dr K". Children completed missions based on the book Itch by Simon Mayo which gets them into the roles of scientists. We hope the primary schools enjoy their gift of the book and reading about Itchingham Lofte's adventures.

On Thursday 26th March, we will be hosting our Power to Perform event for Year 9 and Year 10 students from 4:00pm – 6:30pm in school. This important event is designed to support students as they prepare for the next stage of their learning and to help them feel confident about their future studies. During the evening, Year 9 students will receive their personalised choices forms, giving them the opportunity to explore the subjects available at Key Stage 4 and begin thinking about the courses that best match their interests, strengths and future aspirations. Subject staff will be available at dedicated stalls to provide information about each course and answer any questions students or parents may have about the personalised choices process. For Year 10 students, the focus of the evening will be on revision guidance and preparation for GCSE success. Staff will be on hand to share practical revision strategies, study tips and advice to help students make the most of their independent study time. The Power to Perform event is a fantastic opportunity for students and families to speak directly with teachers, gain valuable advice and ensure that every student feels supported in achieving their very best. We look forward to welcoming our Year 9 and Year 10 students and their families for an informative and supportive evening.

The Year 8 netball team got their league campaign off to a fantastic start this evening with a confident performance against Park. Building on the momentum from last year's tournament victory, the girls demonstrated just how much they've continued to grow as a squad. From the first whistle, Primet showed excellent skill and determination. The defensive unit was rock solid, making sharp interceptions and breaking down Park's attacks with real composure. In the shooting circle, the attackers were equally impressive, converting opportunities with accuracy and teamwork. A special well done goes to Evin, who was voted Player of the Match by the Park teama brilliant achievement. However, every player contributed to a superb team effort that showcased both talent and team spirit. The final score ended 8–4 to Primet, a well-deserved win and a promising sign for the matches ahead. Well done, girls what a fab display of netball!
