‘Proud to be PRIMET’
Our vision is for Colne Primet Academy to be a key part in the educational journey of young people in Pendle and East Lancashire.
As part of Pendle Education Trust, a multi-academy trust sponsored by Nelson and Colne College, we strive to provide our students with the very best educational start in life. We have the very highest expectations and aspirations for our students, and always ensure that they have the support to achieve their goals.







Learning and progress are at the heart of everything we do. We strive to constanstly develop our knowledge and skills, ensuring that every day we move forwards.
We are respectful to ourselves, always aiming for our best and making the most of all our opportunities. We are respectful to others, being kind with our actions and words. And we are respectful to our environment, at a local, national and global level.
All members of the academy are equally valued, and we appreciate the diversity within our academy community. Our curriculum ensures all students can make progress.
We set high aspirations and are driven to meet them. We value the importance of working hard to achieve our goals and the rewards gained from reaching them.
We communicate through fluent speech and writing and use creative methods to represent our knowledge and ideas. We value the work of others and what it conveys.
The academy community works together for the benefit of all. We value teamwork and collaboration, within the academy community and with our external partners.

Supporting No Mow May This May, schools across Pendle Education Trust are proud to be taking part in No Mow May. By leaving some of our green spaces uncut throughout the month, we're giving nature a helping hand. Longer grass and wildflowers provide vital food and shelter for bees, butterflies, and other important pollinators. Cutting less means: Supporting pollinators Encouraging wildflowers to grow Protecting and enhancing local biodiversity Together, we're creating healthier habitats and helping wildlife thrive right on our school grounds. #NoMowMay #Sustainability #Biodiversity #PendleEducationTrust #EcoSchools

Our Year 7 netball team played their third game of the season last week - and what a performance it was! The squad showed clear improvement from their first two outings, demonstrating growing confidence, teamwork, and determination on court. There was some excellent attacking play throughout the match, with our shooters truly on fire as they scored an impressive 13 goals. In defence, the team was equally strong, working hard to limit their opponents to just 3 goals, resulting in a brilliant and welldeserved win. The players should feel incredibly proud of their commitment to training and their desire to keep improving week after week. With just one league game left before the upcoming tournament where all schools will compete on the same night , the team is building great momentum. Well done, Year 7! Keep up the fantastic work.
View PostWell done George, we are super proud of you!
