COMMUNITY PLUS

At Applemore College, one of our four core goals is to ‘maintain and develop supportive, friendly and positive relationships with all members of the school community – students, parents, staff, and Governors – and to ensure we build a high profile in the local community and further afield.

APPLEMORE COMMUNITY PITCH

The Applemore Community Pitch (ACP)

Welcome to the Applemore Community Pitch (ACP), our state-of-the-art, fully LED-floodlit, synthetic turfed 3G pitch. First installed in 2016, this premier facility provides an elite, all-weather sports surface for students and the wider region.
A Thriving Hub for Elite Sport & Community

The ACP serves as a vital sporting asset, hosting an average weekly footprint of 1,000+ active participants. Its exceptional quality has earned it prestigious regional and national recognition:

Empowering Local Teams

This outstanding community resource is heavily utilized by local civic, military, and grassroots sports organizations, including:

Driving Inclusivity & Opportunity

The ACP is central to breaking down barriers in sport. It serves as a launchpad for female athletic development by providing enriched, safe, and elite training opportunities for girls in our local community.

Woodland Trust – Green Tree Schools Award

Applemore has been successful in reaching the Bronze level of the Green Tree award. It was through the culmination of various projects run at the school; planting new trees, allowing students to visit woodlands and our reduction in CO2 through our ‘LOL’ (Lights off Lessons) mornings.

The scheme is run via the Woodland Trust and everyone here at Applemore appreciates what a unique setting we have with the New Forest directly opposite the school.  We encourage students to think meaningfully about the importance woodlands/trees play in our lives and how to reduce the impact of climate change. 

We are pleased to say we are now working towards for the Silver Award!
