‘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.

Year 10 Dive into the Science of Specific Latent Heat! Last week, our Year 10 students explored one of the most fascinating concepts in Physics: specific latent heat. With focus and determination, they worked collaboratively to uncover the secrets behind energy transfer during changes of state. Through hands-on experiments and guided discussions, students discovered how energy is absorbed or released without a change in temperature, deepening their understanding of thermal physics. Their teamwork and curiosity truly shone as they connected theory to real-world applications. We are incredibly proud of their effort and enthusiasm. This is science in action at its best! #ProudToBePrimet #ScienceInAction #Teamwork

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our STAR Awards event last night! What an amazing evening celebrating the achievement, effort and progress of our wonderful students. A huge well done to all of our award winners – you made us incredibly proud to be Primet! A big thank you to all parents and carers for coming along to support the event and share in the celebrations. Your encouragement means so much to our students. It was wonderful to welcome back our former Year 11 students, now thriving in Year 12, as they returned to collect their GCSE certificates. It was lovely catching up, hearing where they've moved on to, and celebrating the next steps in their journeys. We are incredibly proud of each and every one of them! A huge well done as well to our drama and dance performers - your performances were absolutely outstanding and added something really special to the event. And a heartfelt thank you to our Alumni guest speaker, Simon Dixon, Founder of Hatmill Supply Chain & Logistics Consultants. Thank you for travelling up to deliver such an inspiring message. A full gallery of photos from the evening will be added to the parent newsletter and published on our school website. It was a fantastic night from start to finish, and we're already looking forward to next year!
