On the second day of Purbeck activities, students from the sixth form engaged in a ‘Ten pounds for ten miles’ sponsored walk in support of the charity Dorset MIND. Organised by head of year Mr Smith, the party headed out into Wareham Forest equipped with sunblock, water and biscuits, and walked the route in four hours.

As buzzards soared in a cloudless sky, we agreed that we live in a beautiful part of the world and are pleased to have raised around £300 for a charity close to our hearts. Many students stayed on to enjoy an informal barbeque and picnic on the rear lawns. Well done to all those involved!
