All students are encouraged to take part in the wide variety of activities at Colne Primet Academy. We encourage not just academic development but personal growth through structured sessions before school, at lunchtime and after school. All extra-curricular activities are free and are a great way to try something new and make new friends, just simply turn up and have a go!

Extra-curricular timetables are updated regularly and posted on the website below and through the e-Bulletin. Further information regarding activities can be found from form tutors. Examples of activities from last year include Duke of Edinburgh, sports clubs and fixtures, library sessions, homework club and much more. 

As well as daily extra-curricular activities, throughout the academic year there will be opportunities for students to embark on trips to support their learning in the classroom. We want all our students to have new experiences during their time with us to create long-lasting memories. In the past trips have included visits to London, to help bring History topics to life, local colleges and universities, and Whitehough activity centre. These trips allow students to further develop their knowledge of subjects and bring learning to life whilst creating long lasting memories of their time at Colne Primet Academy.

We also have the Pendle Education Trust Secondary Pledge where all of our secondary students will have the opportunity to experience all 5 of these opportunities before leaving secondary school. These include the following aspects:

When students have achieved the award, they are presented with a certificate and a badge. For example, in 2023/24, Year 7 students who visited Gawthorpe Hall and engaged with activities related to Shakespeare, were awarded the cultural awareness pledge; whilst Year 10 students who took part in a GCSE geography field trip and visited Wycoller, were awarded the eco-awareness pledge.
