J Shearer continues to impress in his outstanding start to the season with the Bath U16 Academy. Most recently, he represented the Academy in their fixture against Saracens at the StoneX Stadium in North London, contributing to an emphatic 53–10 victory. Earlier in the season, TJ also played a pivotal role as co-captain in the win over Sale Sharks, leading from the front in a hard-fought 26–12 result.

The match at StoneX marked a significant milestone, as TJ scored his first competitive try for the Academy. Peeling off the back of a rolling maul from a lineout, he powered over the line to finish an excellently executed team move, surpassing even his memorable try at the Rec at the end of last season. Footage and photos from the fixture have been shared, highlighting this achievement.

TJ’s dedication to his development has been exceptional. His commitment to training, both within and beyond formal rugby environments, has driven remarkable progress. Having first picked up a rugby ball when he joined Purbeck in Year 7, TJ has gone from strength to strength and is now regarded as one of the Academy’s most promising young players. Transitioning from centre to the front row, he is now specialising as a hooker, demonstrating a strong work ethic, adaptability, and an eagerness to learn from every piece of feedback.

We would like to express our gratitude to everyone who has supported TJ on his journey so far: his family, his teachers, his coaches at Swanage & Wareham RFC, and the coaching team at the Bath Academy. A special thank you goes to Jason Helas (JDT) for his ongoing sponsorship.

The future looks exceptionally bright for TJ, and we look forward to following his continued success both on and off the field.

Our Year 11 GCSE and Year 12 and 13 A Level Chemistry students recently had the privilege of attending a fascinating lecture by Professor Matthew Almond titled “What’s It Made Of?”.

During the hour-long session, Professor Almond explored a range of instrumental analysis techniques, including chromatography, mass spectrometry, spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. These complex methods were brought to life through real-world applications such as drug testing in sport, detecting titanium dioxide in food, pesticide analysis, and even the chemistry of interstellar space.

On our recent inset day, students had the opportunity to participate in “Take your child to work day” .

This involved students accompanying and work shadow a parent/carer. We believe it is beneficial for students to experience the world of work in as many different environments as possible.

Josh went to Knoll House Hotel for the day with his dad, and by all accounts had a worthwhile and rewarding experience:-

Work Experience at My Dad's Workplace

Josh van Staden – Year 8

I recently had the chance to spend a day at my dad's work as part of 'Take Your Child to Work Day'. It was a really cool experience that taught me some useful skills.

I got to try out a few different jobs. First, I worked in the restaurant as a waiter. I helped lay the tables, making sure everything was just right for the customers. This taught me how important it is to pay attention to details and work efficiently.

I also spent some time in housekeeping. I did tasks like hoovering the carpets and taking out the rubbish. These might seem like simple jobs but they showed me how everyone plays a big part in making sure a business runs smoothly.

Working with the teams in the restaurant and housekeeping helped me improve my teamwork and communication skills. I learned how to work well with others towards a common goal and how to clearly ask for help.

This experience has given me a better understanding of what it's like to work in a real-world setting. The skills I've picked up, like teamwork, communication, and attention to detail will definitely be helpful in my future career. I'm looking forward to using what I've learned in future work experiences.

The Purbeck Sixth Form had the pleasure of welcoming back the Many Faiths Together team. Many Faiths are indeed this, a combination of speakers representing faiths across a broad spectrum: Lynda (Judaism), Sister Tama (Islam), Sali (Buddhism), James and Gary (Christian) and David (Humanist). Over the course of two sessions, the group addressed questions from the Year 12 and 13 cohorts which included what happens after we die, attitudes towards LGBTQ+ individuals and communities, to what degree religious parents should influence their children and discrimination due to one’s faith.

The overriding message came in the agreement that having love and compassion for our fellow humans is key. It was recognised too, as David noted when discussing Humanism, that the core values of our sixth form and school promote care, compassion and also ambition for oneself through our commitment to kindness, aspiration and perseverance.

Our visitors, students and staff benefited from a very positive coming together, one that was particularly fitting on Remembrance Day. We look forward to working with Many Faiths again.
