With the final weeks upon us for FVIII, the children will be wearing their leavers' hoodies in and around school with pride!
They have so much to look forward to over the coming weeks, from a residential trip to Cornwall to paintballing, and a visit to Oxford Aqua Park to tenpin ...bowling, the post-exam programme is designed to make their final few weeks at Beachborough Prep very special.

Over the last few weeks, the children have thoroughly enjoyed watching their caterpillars grow and the chrysalides develop.
Once the butterflies had emerged from their chrysalides, they called the Science Labs home for a little while, however, today, they were released! It was ...heartwarming to see the children’s faces light up, as they carefully lifted the butterflies out of the Hatching Habitat before watching them fly away.
Thank you to the Science Department, for bringing the children along on this captivating journey of metamorphosis. 🦋

Yesterday afternoon, Form VIII engaged in an exciting chemistry session at @stoweschool, exploring advanced practical skills. Pupils conducted acid-alkali titrations using GCSE and A Level laboratory equipment, which proved an excellent opportunity for all to extend their understanding of ...neutralisation reactions. Our young scientists approached the practical work with impressive focus and demonstrated excellent teamwork throughout.
A highlight of the afternoon was a captivating chemistry show led by Mr. James Tearle. Pupils were thrilled by explosive demonstrations, a "magical" wine trick producing five different drinks, and a dramatic, Mission Impossible-style hydrogen-filled balloon detonation using gunpowder.
The session not only helped pupils refine their laboratory skills but also deepened and extended their understanding of chemical reactions; perfect preparation as they look ahead to their senior school studies. Thank you to Stowe for a fabulous afternoon!

This morning, we visited Reception during Choosing Time and witnessed the magic of child-led learning in action! From delving into arts and crafts to meticulously building train tracks, every corner was bursting with curiosity and creativity.
Choosing Time enables the children to ...experiment, create, and learn in their own unique way, and with a plethora of fun and engaging activities to choose from each morning, they can explore ideas freely and develop imaginative thinking.
Thank you for having us, Reception, it was a joy! 😊

On Friday, a team of Beachburians made the journey to the Bedford International Athletics Stadium, alongside 50 other schools, to compete in the @iapsuk East Area Regional Meeting.
The children had a fantastic day and competed well in a strong field. Many of our athletes made finals and ...achieved personal bests. We're thrilled to share that Josh S took the bronze in the U14 Boys' Long Jump, and we came away with two gold medallists - William G in the U12 Boys' 1500m, and Ian D in the U13 Boys' Javelin.
Both William and Ian have progressed to the Nationals at Alexander Stadium, in early July. Congratulations to all who participated on the day, you represented Beachborough incredibly well!

Congratulations must go to our 2nd XI boys' cricket team who have gone unbeaten this season so far, winning 5 out of 5 matches.
The team have played exceptionally well, demonstrating teamwork, communication, and perseverance to the highest standard.

Well done, team! 🏏

This morning, our regular girl boarders in Forms IV and V were invited to attend a workshop, led by Annaliese from @thedramahut.
The workshop was centred around 'Wellbeing, Friendships and Resilience', but it was kindly tailored to relate to boarding in particular. The girls ...explored topics such as living in a community, and spoke openly about their feelings through drama-based activities, role play and improvisation. Part of the session included a freeze-frame activity, where they worked in small groups to re-enact moments where they felt most happy, and where they demonstrated resilience; whether that be in a showjumping competition or taking part in a triathlon.
It was a fun and engaging workshop, and we extend our thanks to Annaliese for joining us!
