Speech Day 2025 was a heartwarming and joyful occasion that brought together the Beachborough community to celebrate the culmination of another remarkable school year. Under glorious sunshine and in high spirits, parents, pupils, staff, and special guests gathered to reflect, to recognise, and to ...bid fond farewells.
Mrs Mitchell set the tone with a moving speech that highlighted the importance of resilience, ambition, and compassion. We also heard from members of the Beachborough Friends, who offered heartfelt thanks to the parent committee for their tireless efforts and dedication. A highlight of the morning was the visit from Dogs for Good, who introduced us to our sponsored puppy, Connie. We were delighted to meet her, and the organisation’s speech provided insight into the life-changing impact these dogs have.
With deep appreciation, the community said goodbye to Mr Preece, Mrs Blithe, and Mr Usher—three treasured individuals whose contributions have helped shape the school into what is it today. Pupils from across the school were awarded prizes for excellence in academics, the arts, sport, leadership and boarding, and our new Head Beachburians for 2025/26 were announced. We thank Beth and Ben for being incredible leaders over the past year in their role as Head Beachburians.
We were also lucky enough to be joined by former professional footballer and GB Paralympian, Alistair Patrick-Heselton, who delivered an inspirational speech that captivated the audience. Alistair shared stories of perseverance, passion, and the power of belief—reminding everyone that setbacks can lead to greatness when met with courage.
Finally, we bid farewell to Form VIII who we will miss greatly, but we know they will thrive in their next adventure! Thank you to everybody who joined us; we're wishing you a wonderful summer.

🎆📣 New Blog Post Alert 📣 🎆
Our new blog post looks at the effect that boarding at school has on positive mental health and what Beachborough Prep can offer in our home-from-home, cosy, flexi-boarding environment.

As part of this year’s Enrichment Week theme, ‘Your Voice Matters’, the children wanted the chance to step into Mrs Mitchell’s shoes and become Head for the day.
After a winning speech, Dougy H in Form VII was elected to become Pupil Head, and today was the big day! As part of his ...headship, Dougy requested a whole-school Mufti Day, chose shortbread for a breaktime snack, and declared that we all had his favourite dessert at lunchtime – birdseed and custard (a unique Beachborough tradition!).
This afternoon, Dougy spent some time catching up with emails and making some important decisions in the Head’s Office, while Mrs Mitchell enjoyed some quiet time! Great job, Dougy.

Some of you may recognise Isla, as she was one of the wonderful pupil musicians who was chosen to perform at our recent alumni event on 21st June.
We are so pleased to announce that a HUGE congratulations is in order, as Isla passed her Grade 5 Theory with the ABRSM with a distinction –... the highest possible mark available!
The marks that Isla received are put down to her determination and enthusiasm for her art and we are extremely proud of her. Well done, Isla! ⭐

It's been an exciting month for @beachboroughprep as we have yet again, been shortlisted for an award!
The Independent Schools of the Year awards, hosted by @independentschoolparent and in conjunction with @schoolblazeruk, are designed to give independent schools an opportunity to ...celebrate and showcase their extraordinary achievements.
Our entry into the category of Best Use of Education Technology has shown that our innovative approach to technology in the classroom and our commitment to creating digitally literate, world-ready citizens, did not go unnoticed by the judging panel and we hope to make the list of finalists, which will be announced on 9th September 2025.
A huge thanks to Mrs Blithe who assisted in pulling together the content for our entry, which focussed on our access to the latest technology and our purposeful and pupil-centred approach to it rooted in accessibility, creativity and adaptability.

On Friday, our boarders enjoyed the last Friday night boarding party of the year!
The annual water fight and BBQ is a firm favourite in the boarding calendar, and the spirit of summer truly came alive as the school grounds were transformed into a splash zone. Armed with buckets, balloons ...and sponges, the children had fun-filled evening, full of laughter.
It was a brilliant blend of camaraderie, Beachborough tradition, and the perfect way to mark the end of the summer term.

Yesterday evening, we held the highly anticipated annual Beachborough Staff v Parents cricket match! 🏏
Much to the dismay of the staff, the match concluded with the parents being crowned champions of 2025, however, most importantly, events like this are a fantastic way to strengthen ...community spirit within our school.
Bringing together staff and parents in a friendly, relaxed environment allows for everybody to connect outside of the classroom, share some friendly competition, and enjoy each other’s company. We extend our thanks to the players and spectators who joined us yesterday!

On Sunday 29th June, our Beachborough Racing Team competed at Gathering of the Goblins at @goodwoodmotorcircuit for the 9th time.
The team have been training extremely hard for this event, and it certainly paid off! We are so pleased to share that, out of 85 cars, the team came 1st and 3rd... in the Pit Stop challenge (undefeated from last year’s win), 2nd in the Chicane Sprint race, and 1st and 3rd in the Lap of Champions - an incredible achievement!
We're so proud of our Goblins, and extend our thanks to the wonderful team of parents and staff who support the children in the lead up to events like this.
