On Tuesday 2nd December, The Purbeck School welcomed the Dorset Heath Partnership (DHP) into school to deliver an exciting and thought-provoking session for our Year 8 students.

The interactive Arson Courtroom Drama (ACD), supported by Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service and Dorset Police, gave pupils a unique insight into the workings of the justice system. Through a realistic courtroom scenario, students explored the roles of the police, the operation of a Crown Court, and the serious consequences of arson.

This National Curriculum-linked session also highlighted the devastating impact arson can have on our local heathland, encouraging students to think about responsibility and community safety.
