The Heatherwood Dodgeball final was held in May 2026. The final saw Purple Class secure the win (and trophy) against The Arc. Caroline Potter (Purple Class Captain) has provided a match report:

"On behalf of Purple Class, pupils and staff, we would like to say a HUGE thank you for all your support during our legendary dodgeball journey. What started as “a bit of fun” somehow turned into Purple Class entering their sporting era and taking the title like absolute professionals.

The semi-final was intense. Nerves were high. Supporters were shouting. At one point we’re fairly sure at least three staff members forgot they were at work and thought they were at the Olympics.

And then came the final against Arc…
Competitive? Absolutely.
Dramatic? Without a doubt.
Entertaining? 100%.

There were dodges worthy of slow-motion replay, throws powered entirely by adrenaline, and enough cheering to be heard three classrooms away. The atmosphere was brilliant and the children were incredible.

Purple Class would like to thank:

• Their parents and families for raising such determined competitors,
• Their friends for the encouragement,
• Staff for the tactical advice (whether useful or not),
• and the amazing staff at Heatherwood for organising such a fantastic event and supporting the children every step of the way.

We truly could not have done it without you all.

Special mention also goes to the staff who may now need a quiet sit down and a strong cup of tea after becoming far too emotionally invested in a dodgeball competition.

The children had an amazing time, made wonderful memories, and showed fantastic teamwork, resilience, and sportsmanship throughout.

Purple Class – Dodgeball Champions 2026.
We’ll try to stay humble… but no promises.

Thank you everyone!

From
The Purple Class Team"
