Our week of celebrating sport continued with the Primet Teens netball team having a fantastic evening at the Pendle Ladies Netball League presentation. The whole team, which is made up of girls from years 8-11 and beyond (including former student Chloe in Year 12) won the most sporting team in their division. This was no surprise, as the girls are always exemplary in the conduct and sporting behaviour on and off the court. Congratulations to all the girls who have played this season, giving up their Thursday evenings, whatever the weather, making us all Proud to be Primet. Then came the individual honours, where 7 were awarded to Primet Teens players, which epitomised their impressive performances throughout the season. Sophie won 3rd place in players' player of the season, Rosie won joint 2nd place with Keira named umpires' player of the season and joint 2nd players' player of the season along with Scarlett and Niniola . Then the overall honour of umpires' player of the season for their division was won by Niniola - huge congratulations for this brilliant achievement. We are all now looking forward to next season!

Consultation on Admission Arrangements for 2027–2028 In accordance with the Department for Education's statutory School Admission Code, admission authorities are required to consult on their admission arrangements whenever changes are proposed, and in any event, at least once every seven years. This process ensures transparency and gives stakeholders the opportunity to provide feedback on proposed changes. For the 2027–2028 academic year, it is proposed to change the published admission number (PAN) for Colne Primet Academy. The PAN determines the maximum number of pupils that will be admitted to each year group. In accordance with statutory guidance from the Department for Education, this consultation will run for a minimum of six weeks. As an interested party at one or both of the above schools, Pendle Education Trust is keen to hear your views on the proposed changes to the admission arrangements. We warmly invite you to participate in the consultation and share any comments or feedback you may have regarding this matter. Please visit the Admissions page of our website at https://tinyurl.com/pdjask6m for more information and to share your views.

We had an incredible celebration event last night at our annual Sports Presentation Evening. We were joined by our fabulous students and their parents/carers to celebrate the sporting year of 2024-2025. It was an outstanding year for us here at Primet with 214 students participating in a school team and 100 representing the school for 2 or more teams. Our tournament and league wins in a range of sports was at an all time high as were our results in the athletics inter school event where we scooped 2nd in all but 1 category. We dominated all the basketball tournaments being crowned Pendle Champions for all the boys and girls teams - such an amazing achievement. Students were honoured for their consistent effort in PE lessons throughout the year and those who contributed to 3 or more school teams. The excellent athletes among our students were also presented with their 1st place to 3rd place certificates in their individual events from the competition in July. Finally, we awarded 15 coveted trophies in our special awards section. Look out for tomorrow's parent newsletter for the list of special award winners and more photos.

Five lucky students enjoyed a visit to Burnley Football Club yesterday where they met key staff from across the club, including the Chief Operations Officer, Head of Retail, and Head of Fan Experience. They even got a behind-the-scenes stadium tour and met Max Weiss and Florentino Luis in the home changing room! A huge thank you to Darcie and the team at Burnley FC in the Community for such an inspiring and unforgettable experience. Look out for more pictures in tomorrow's parent newsletter.

The stage is set, the certificates and trophies are ready. We look forward to welcoming students and parents to our Sports Presentation Evening tonight. #ProudtobePrimet
