Post-16 DofE Bronze expedition complete!
Well done to an amazing group of students who today returned from a two day expedition which included pitching up their tents and sleeping in a field last night. They returned very tired from the challenge but proud of their achievements. Also well done and thanks to Di Williamson and Matt Doyle – it was quite a challenge for them too!
UPDATE… here are a few photos from our week at Haven Church Farm
Post-16 are off on residential this week. We are going to Haven Church Farm which is near Chichester, West Sussex. We have lots of fun activities planned, as well as spending time developing the students’ life skills and completing work towards their diploma. Fingers crossed for nice weather!
23rd May UPDATE – Some photos of the practice expedition
13th May UPDATE… So the weather was pretty awful but the students were amazing! What a brilliant effort from them all. BIG thanks to Diane Williamson for making it happen, and our thanks to Sheila Soper for supporting us in our new adventures. Photos to follow soon.

Post-16 are off on their Bronze Duke of Edinburgh practice walk this week. We wish them lots of luck and hope the weather improves!
In March, the Purbeck class enjoyed a trip to the Harry Potter studios. The class had listened to the story of ‘Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone’ during the Autumn Term and enjoyed it so much that they persuaded the staff to organise a trip to the studios.
“It was awesome and amazing!”
“It was a brilliant trip!”
“I enjoyed looking at the magic wands.”
“Aragog the Spider was AWESOME!!”
“The butter beer was horrible and gross!”
We would like to say thanks to the John Thornton Foundation for supporting this trip and to the staff who kindly volunteered to help on the day.
It was a fantastic day, one of the highlights of the year! We’re all now looking forward to our upcoming residential trip in the summer term.
Purbeck Class.
Well done to everyone who took part. We came 3rd as a team!
The girls did very well; Tabitha came 3rd for the U13’s; Coco came 2nd and Amelia came 3rd for the U16’s.
Congratulations
