Over 16 groups set up for our Freshers Fayre recently, showing a wide range of extra-curricular activities, from sport to debating to, STEM to volunteering in the community.

Mrs Noble, Head of Sixth Form, said, “We were delighted with the turn out for our Freshers’ Fayre. It was good to see such enthusiasm and excitement from our students. Taking part in clubs can help build friendships, leadership and soft skills, and support next steps in academic and vocational studies. Academic subjects are only one part of our incredible Sixth Form offer here at THS”.

As another school year draws to a close, we're taking the opportunity to celebrate and thank the colleagues across Wessex Trust who are retiring or moving on to new adventures after years of dedicated service.

This summer, we say a particularly heartfelt farewell to Jerome Deremaux, who retires from The Purbeck School after 34 years, and Bev Deremaux, who retires from The Thomas Hardye School after 25 years. Together, they have dedicated almost 60 years to supporting generations of young people, colleagues and families across our Trust.

Jerome joined The Purbeck School in 1991 as a History teacher and has spent the last 34 years inspiring generations of students, leading tutor groups and helping shape the life of the school. His passion for education, commitment to young people and genuine care for colleagues have left a lasting impact on the Purbeck community.

Bev joined Thomas Hardye School in 2001 as Sixth Form Administrator and has been at the heart of the Sixth Form ever since. Her warmth, professionalism and support for students, families and colleagues have made her a vital member of the school community, helping countless young people through one of the most important stages of their education.

Reflecting on his career, Jerome said: "Purbeck – its staff and students – will always have a special place in my heart. I wish the school nothing but the very best."

Bev added: "So many people have made working at Thomas Hardye School such a pleasure. I'll miss them all tremendously."

We'd also like to recognise colleagues across the Trust who are leaving us this summer, including Sarah Penney (Head's PA), Will Tarbard (Head of PE Faculty), Louise Robinson (Head of Biology), Barbara Armstrong (Head of Psychology), Mike Benzon (Maths Teacher) and Max Marriott-Smith (Learning Mentor) from The Purbeck School; Sue Brazier (Speech and Language Therapist and SEND Transition Lead) from Thomas Hardye School; Oliver Dickinson (Teacher), Sophie Adams (Teacher), Ruth Miller (Teacher), Charlotte Prowse (Teaching Assistant), Elizabeth Fox (Teaching Assistant), Chloe Carter-Miles (Assistant Headteacher and SENDCO), Mick Parsons (Site Team Assistant) and Janet Collins (Science Technician) from St. Osmund's School; and Lorraine (School Office Administrator) and Poppy (Teaching Assistant) from Piddle Valley CE First School.

To everyone leaving Wessex Multi-Academy Trust this summer, thank you for your dedication, commitment and the lasting difference you have made to the lives of our pupils, colleagues and communities. We wish you every success and happiness for the future.

We’re really excited for the Sixth Form Ball tonight. We’ve heard that there are a couple of people still looking for tickets; if so, please come into school before the end of the day to buy a ticket in cash.

A reminder to all, the Ball starts at 7pm and ends at 11pm. Please ensure you have transport to take you home (or to an after party?!)

See you later

It is with regret that this evening’s Presentation Evening has been postponed and will be rescheduled for Thursday 10th September 2026.

Our intention was to push ahead to celebrate the achievements of our students regardless of how sticky it was, but temperature readings in our theatre now make it clear that we would be putting all attendees at risk of, at best, a very unpleasant experience instead of a celebration and, at worst, ill health.

Thank you for your understanding.
