Yesterday, our Form VII children enjoyed a fascinating morning exploring the Wetlands as part of their current Ecosystems topic.
Equipped with magnifying pots, trays and pipettes, the children set about identifying the invertebrates and plant life that call this ecosystem home. Discoveries... included a diving beetle, a mayfly nymph, and a variety of snails, alongside pond plants such as common duckweed.
To deepen their investigations, the children also used data loggers and temperature probes, enhancing their understanding of this dynamic habitat. It was a morning full of curiosity, hands-on learning and enjoyment, and we are grateful to the Science Department for facilitating the experience.

This morning, our Nursery and Kindergarten children enjoyed discovering the world of gardening, all thanks to our lovely visitor who came to join us.
They each had the opportunity to plant their own flowers and created colourful pots to take pride in. Now they have the task of looking ...after their plants, making sure they get all the care they need!
Well done, Nursery and Kindergarten – they look beautiful.

Mrs Mitchell’s Norfolk terrier, Bertie, is currently in training to become Beachborough’s new wellbeing dog. Last week, we were delighted to welcome Kate Ross from Inspiring Tails, who will be working closely with Bertie as he prepares for his assessment in the near future. With her expert ...guidance and Bertie’s naturally affectionate nature, we’re excited to watch his journey continue and can’t wait to see the positive impact he will have across the school.
As you can see, he has already captured the hearts of the children, and we’re really looking forward to seeing him step into his new role when the time comes.

On Friday afternoon, we welcomed @akeleywoodschool and @winchesterhouseschool for a Pre-Prep 2 Multi Skills Sports Festival.
The children spent the afternoon working in mixed-school teams for a variety of fun activities. From javelin to football and hurdles to hockey, it gave the children... a great opportunity to build confidence and showcase the skills they have been developing in their PE lessons.
Our Form VIII Sports Captains and Club Captains played a vital role throughout the afternoon by leading the activities. Their leadership and enthusiasm set a great example and helped the event run as smoothly as possible.
A big thank you to all of the parents who came along to cheer from the sidelines - your support made the afternoon even more special!

During the Easter break, a group of Form V to VIII children travelled to La Plagne in the French Alps for the biennial ski trip! ⛷️
Led by Mr Stoop and supported by a fantastic team of staff, the children embraced every opportunity on the slopes, developing their skiing skills with ...enthusiasm, resilience and plenty of smiles, both on and off the mountain.
We were thrilled to receive such positive feedback from the Ski Bound Representative, Joy, who shared that Beachborough Prep was among the very best she has had the pleasure of working with at the resort. We are super proud of the children for representing the school so fantastically, and can't wait for the next ski trip!

Today, some of our Form V pupils arrived at their maths lesson to discover that the Naughty Nought had been busy causing chaos in their classroom! The focus of the lesson was long multiplication, but their maths books had been hidden by the Naughty Nought himself, leaving the children with no ...option but to write directly on the tables instead.
A big well done to Mrs Gross’s maths group for rising to the challenge and tackling complex long multiplication problems with impressive accuracy and neat presentation. Let’s hope Mrs Gross manages to track down those missing maths books soon!
