I would like to say that after a busy month in January we had chilled out a little on the sports front with the primary schools, but NO, this month has been just as busy with some excellent performances and some fantastic leadership triumphs. The first event we were faced with was the delivery of the Year 5 and 6 Netball competition which was a school games qualifier; the winning school would go on to represent the Purbeck area in the School Games Final in April. Six of our schools attended...

A quiet start to the month competition wise, but we started with a bang with training opportunities for teachers. Tag rugby was on offer on the first week back, closely followed by an active numeracy course aimed at KS1 and 2 which was delivered by Denise May MBE. This was really well attended and the following day we were lucky enough to have Denise deliver another course, this time to our PE leads in school. An excellent first two weeks providing lots of opportunities for our primary staff to develop...

Year 5 and 6 Mixed Football We started the month of October with a bit of a change on the weather; it suddenly turned pretty chilly so unfortunately that meant we had to stand out in the cold wind for two hours whilst delivering the first football tournament of the season. Again an impressive turnout of 8 teams with squads of approximately 10, resulting in 80 pupils across the pyramid participating in an event. Year 5 and 6 mixed football was this weeks' choice of competition with the winner...

This week student ambassadors from Bournemouth University have been at The Purbeck School to work with groups of Year 6 students to teach them all about university life. Their key message (which they get students to shout at them) is that university is for ANYONE! The sessions have made many students think about whether university would be something that they wish to pursue. Students are asked to reflect upon what school has taught them so far and then to think about what the next stage in their...
