Fuimos al restaurant para celebrar el fin del año escolar. Fuimos el diecinueve de julio con nuestra profe. En mi opinión la experiencia era bien, me parece que la comida era muy rico.

This year was the fifth year the school has ran the Hooke Court trip, for the new students to build friendships, build confidence and build bonds with their teachers. I remember my own experience.

Our history trip to Belgium and France was, without question, one that we will never forget. I can confidently say that both our hearts and minds were touched by this incredible experience and I’m sure that it will stay with us long after we leave The Purbeck School. We set off from school at 7:00am and after a very long but entertaining coach journey to the youth hostel that we
This was the biggest school ski trip The Purbeck School had ever undertaken. So, with slight trepidation 79 students and 9 members of staff set off on the 23 hour journey through France and Germany towards our destination Austria.
