Hillbourne Primary School

Our year 3 pupils enjoyed a guided tour of Corfe Castle, where they listened to the fascinating history of the castle and learnt why it became a ruin. They also had the opportunity to walk around the ruins and explore the site. The children showed great interest throughout the visit and, despite the rainy weather, had a wonderful day.

Year 5 had a fantastic visit to the Ancient Technology Centre, bringing their Anglo-Saxon learning to life! They enjoyed warrior training, textile making and a fire-making demonstration. What great hands-on learning and a memorable day for all pupils!

The Heart of Hillbourne PTA Team

We were pleased to welcome Neil Duncan-Jordan MP to Hillbourne Primary School. He met with our Year 2 pupils to hear about their work on water pollution in Poole Harbour following letters that they sent him.

The children spoke confidently and passionately about protecting local wildlife, and we are very proud of the impact their voices are making.

Thank you to Neil for taking the time to visit and support our pupils’ learning.

It was wonderful to see our school community come together for our International Supper last week, celebrating food, culture and connection. Families shared dishes from around the world, reflecting the rich diversity of our community, with fantastic support from Chartwells. Thank you to all who joined us and supported the event, and to Chartwells for their invaluable support in making it such a wonderful success.

Last Wednesday, our pupils took part in engaging, nutritionist‑led healthy eating workshops delivered by Chartwells. Pupils learned about the importance of a balanced diet and explored how balance can be found in cuisines from around the world.
The sessions ended with lots of smiles as pupils created fun fruit and vegetable faces, and an opportunity to try the foods they used! These workshops were a fantastic, hands‑on way to build knowledge, confidence and healthy habits.
