A good breeze made for a fast and lively session in the RS200 ⛵💨

These two put their sailing skills to work, reacting to the conditions, communicating and keeping the boat moving at pace.

A great session on the water and some brilliant action shots to go with it. Nice work!

What a year it’s been! 🙌

We caught up with teacher Amy to find out what she has loved most about the past year.

“Watching students grow in confidence and become comfortable enough to show you who they really are, no matter how weird, wonderful or completely themselves they are, is something really special.”

There have been so many great moments, from heading out for walks with Year 2 to watching students have an amazing time at New Forest Water Park.

The job certainly has its challenges, but seeing students leave more confident than when they arrived makes it all worthwhile.

A huge well done to all our students for everything they have achieved, and to Amy and the team for another fantastic year! 💙

College Safeguarding and Administrator Sophie, tells us what has been her standout moments from last year.

"When I think back over this year, it's not the paperwork or meetings that stand out - it's the moments. Walking with students through the Purbecks, spending a day sailing around Poole Harbour, chatting, laughing, and seeing them challenge themselves outside the classroom. Those experiences remind you that education is about so much more than qualifications.

"The biggest privilege though, has been watching the students who started with me last September grow into confident and independent young adults. They've found their voices, supported each other, and become their own people. Seeing that transformation has been genuinely rewarding, and it's the reason I love being part of this college."
