On May 8, 2025, we commemorate the 80th Anniversary of VE Day, as the people, families, and communities of our great nation come together to celebrate 80 years of peace since the end of World War II.

At midday there will be a 2-minute silence in commemoration, the bell will signal the start and the end of the silence.

Creating a strong sense of belonging is essential for children's emotional wellbeing and academic success. This guide explores ten simple and effective strategies, such as encouraging participation, celebrating diversity, and addressing bullying, that help schools build inclusive environments where every child feels valued and connected. 

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.

On Wednesday 7th May we are having a visit from the

Amy Winehouse Foundation – this is what they are about

Dear Purbeck families,

As you are probably aware we had a visit from Ofsted this week. Three inspectors visited across the two days and they looked at all aspects of the school. They completed an ‘ungraded’ inspection (which is what they often do with schools that are rated ‘Good’) this means that they can not officially change the grading of the school at the end of the inspection but they can make recommendations.

We are not allowed to share the official outcome of the inspection just at the moment as the report has to be moderated. However, what I can tell you is that the inspectors were exceptionally impressed with what they saw and that the overall outcome could not have been better!
