The Purbeck School Sixth Form was pleased to welcome visitors from the Dorset Heaths Partnership today.

On Wednesday evening, Assistant Head Simon Holmes spoke on behalf of the Waylen family as they accepted a kind donation of £800 for the SADs charity from the Purbeck Rally.

Friday of this week is a Non-Uniform day; Students will need to bring £1 to contribute to the charity and will need to wear something Red.

Despite having lost to them in previous years, the Purbeck year 9 rugby team showed their progress, development and vigour to hold on to beat a very big and powerful Lytchett side by a singular point.

Purbeck were very much the stronger side in the first half running in 4 tries to Lytchett’s one with score 20-7 at half time. Joe Bohane crash ball off a timely pass from Henry Wright to beat 4 players to score under the posts. After an excellent break from Bertie Warren (a common theme of the afternoon), Vinnie Wright had supported strongly to clear the opposition player out the way and secure the ball. Archie Burt then received the ball, dummied through the gap and powered over putting the ball on the line to score. Michal Barry finished a lovely flowing move down the left-hand side, side stepping the full back to score in the corner. In the final play of the half, Jack Lowry received the kick off catching the high ball in his own 22. Resultantly he then weaved in and out of the opposition players, side stepped the full back to score with a celebratory dive under the posts.

As part of our behaviour policy, in every lesson, each student is given a score. Students receiving a 7 have exceeded expectations for the lesson. The following week the names of the students will be compiled and they will each receive 7 house points. Shortly after this, they will be presented with their Super 7 wristband which provides them with: 

Queue jump for themselves and one friend for all break times and lunch times throughout the week.

An invite for a Friday hot chocolate with the Headteacher and House Leaders.
