  • Super 7'S Well Done!

    Published 16/06/25

    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:

    1. Queue-jump for themselves and one friend for all break times and lunch times throughout the week.
    2. An invitation for a Friday hot chocolate with the Headteacher and House Leaders.

    Monday 9th June - 13th June

  • TJ, Ren and Will’s Bath Rugby Academy Success

    Published 04/06/25

    TJ Shearer, Ren Elliot and Will Wright have been a full part of the U15 Bath Academy PDG programme this academic year, training frequently on a Wednesday night.

    TJ had been selected for the U16 pre-academy resulting in high level additional training on a Monday as well as gym sessions at Farleigh House every Thursday. This resulted in him captaining the side at Bath’s Stadium the Rec, an amazing experience for all involved. As well as scoring a try under the posts, he really did himself proud, tackling hard, rucking ferociously and showing exactly how high is potential and current ability are. From a young boy who had hardly ever touched a rugby ball prior to joining the school, to one of the most exceptional players in the academy, he really has come a long way. The extra time, effort and repetitive practise he puts in outside of training sessions is second to none, and he fully deserves every success he achieves. He has now got into the main squad for the U16 Bath Academy and will be undertaking pre-season with the U17 Academy from 28 June this month. A huge thank you to Jason Helas at JDT for sponsoring him in relation to travel and gym memberships.

  • Massive Congratulations to our year 8/9 touch rugby teams

    Published 04/06/25

    Dear all,

    Massive Congratulations to our year 8/9 touch rugby teams that competed at the T1 rugby tournament at Lytchett RFC this afternoon.

    One of our teams won the competition which means they will progress to the national round later this Summer up in Worchester (TBC). We scored a grand total of 26 tries throughout the afternoon.

    Purbeck beat Avonbourne in the final 10-5 on "Golden Try" in Extra Time, a Bertie Warren grubber and gather to win the final!

    The best thing about the tournament was having two completely mixed ability and gender-based teams with students who attend rugby club frequently every Thursday after school.

    Boy of the Tournament: Henry Wright - excellent link up player and control of the game

    Girl of the Tournament: Hettie Poole - excellent running especially in the final to set up the phase before Bertie's winning try!

    Team (with number of tries in brackets): Bertie Warren (6), Sam Munns (5), George Whittaker, Ryan Tizzard (1), Alfie Hunt, Tommy Barnes (1), Molly Murray, Hettie Poole (1), Rosabelle Williams-Hall, Sam Underhill, Alice De Wit, Toby Debenham, Oli Ellis (5), Kian Naga, Emyr Griffiths (1), Alfie Webb (4), Henry Wright (1), Mia Betts, Tess Street (1), Annabella Euripedes, Hannah Sharp
