Welcome to Purja Class

Known as the King of hardcore climbing, Purja first began climbing at altitude in 2012, at the age of 29, and four years later reached the summit of Everest as an anonymous client while on leave from the U.K. Special Forces. Then, in 2019, having previously climbed only four of the Death Zone peaks, he summited all 14 in just six months and six days. He called it Project Possible, because people who know about such things told him it couldn’t be done. We love the idea of any project being possible here in Year 3/4.

PE
Our PE days are Monday and Thursday. Please come to school in your PE kit on those days. Remember outdoor trainers, to tape up earrings if you wear them and a bobble for long hair. We do PE in most weather (don't worry, we do stop when it gets too rainy, but not if it's cold) so please dress accordingly. Please note, our outdoor session has changed to Thursday afternoon.
