As we reflect on the last 6 weeks of the autumn term, it is evident just how wonderfully busy life is at Beachborough Prep. All of our Beachburians, from Nursery through to FVIII, have a multitude of exciting opportunities to look forward to each week, and they grasp every single one with both ...hands.
A few highlights so far have been our Dogs for Good charity dog show, the FVII trip to Condover Hall, and our first ever Beachborough girls' side competing at an IAPS football competition. The children have made some incredible memories, and have already achieved so much - we can't wait to see what the rest of the autumn term has in store!
We are wishing our Beachborough community a very enjoyable, and well-deserved half term. See you all on Monday 4th November!

Today, our FVII and FVIII Art & Tech scholars are spending the day in London!
Their first stop this morning was the @designmuseum, where the children took part in a sustainable and smart materials workshop, before looking at the permanent exhibition. The highlight was watching a ...paperclip, made of memory nitinol metal, springing back to its perfect shape after being put in hot water!
This afternoon, they are heading to the @royalacademyarts, where they will have the opportunity to take a look at the Michael Craig-Martin exhibition. The exhibition will include his early experimental sculptures, and also feature new, immersive digital work by the artist, making it the largest exhibition of Craig-Martin's work ever held in the UK.
Our children will be taking lots of inspiration from this wonderful trip, and will use all that they have learnt to their advantage when it comes to preparing for their scholarships!

Today is Restart a Heart Day, which is a day dedicated to raising awareness about cardiac arrests and helping people to learn CPR, giving them lifesaving skills and the confidence to use them.
We were lucky enough to welcome professionals, Victoria Sillett, Rebecca Alp, Becky Lauder, ...Claire Lowther, and Sue West to Beachborough this morning. They each worked alongside our children in FV-FVIII, specifically focusing on CPR training and how to use a defibrillator correctly. The children learnt which signs indicate that somebody is having a cardiac arrest, and how to perform CRP safely, in order to save a life. Our visitors were hugely impressed by the existing knowledge of our children, however, it is vital that they continue to practise this lifesaving skill.
We are thankful to the wonderful team that shared their knowledge and expertise with our Beachburians today, they were thrilled to learn how to save a life! ❤️

This week, we held our first Beachborough Explorers Event! 🐛 🔍
This stay & play style event was a wonderful opportunity for our young attendees to sample all that Beachborough has to offer in our Early Years department, whilst parents chatted with teachers and also familiarised ...themselves with the Beachborough environment.
The theme for this event was Autumn, and the children delved into potion making, conker drilling, leaf crown making, and sensory Autumn colours in the tuff trays.
The event concluded with pumpkin biscuits, fruit, and a story from our Nursery and Kindergarten Lead, Miss Fry.
Thank you to everyone who came along - we hope to see you again soon!

Our boarders put their skills to the test on Friday evening, when @bmxskatescootacademy came to visit!
The children had the opportunity to learn from the best, Terry Price and Mike Mullen, who ran workshops in BMX and scootering. After watching some thrilling demonstrations from the ...experts, the energy was high, and the children were ready to have a go themselves! Some of our braver boarders challenged themselves to perform some difficult tricks, showing that they really can do anything if they put their mind to it.
These workshops are not only incredibly fun, but they encourage our children to push themselves out of their comfort zones and develop a stronger mindset. Thank you to Terry and Mike for another memorable evening!

One from the archives for you today!
We absolutely loved looking at these pictures of the school taken in 1956, and sent in by a former pupil of the school.
The building may have changed but our ethos and vision stays the same.
If you have any any old photos of ...Beachborough Prep, we would love to see them. Please email alumni@beachborough.com.

Last week, our FVII year group went on the first residential of the year, to @condoverhall, in Shropshire.
On day 1, the children arrived to find that the first activity was raft building and, although the water was cold, all of our Beachburians demonstrated resilience and determination,... by getting onto a raft. Some of our super keen children even went for a swim! Once they had dried off and warmed up, the evening consisted of a silent disco and laser tag, which was a real hit with the children.
Following a good night's sleep, everybody was raring to go for day 2, which included activities such as a zip wire, Jacob's ladder, abseiling, archery, low ropes and team building exercises. This day, in particular, was full of encouragement and the children supported one another superbly, showing great teamwork, leadership and communication in each and every activity. A jam-packed day concluded with a debrief around the campfire, accompanied by toasted marshmallows!
The children represented Beachborough incredibly throughout, and continuously demonstrated our learner characteristics. Well done, FVII, for making the most of every opportunity presented to you!

It was the year of 1666 for Pre-Prep 2 on Friday, as our children were transported back to the Great Fire of London!
As the fire burned in Pudding Lane, the children had to learn their trades as apprentices in metal working, sewing, weaving, and ink making. As always, our Beachburians ...gave it their all and became experts in their trades!
Once the afternoon arrived, the children worked alongside a team of FVIII's to excavate what was left of the city, by digging for the personal belongings of those missing. What they discovered was fascinating, and PP2 discussed their findings with one another, in the attempt of piecing together the broken objects.
We extend a huge thank you to @historyoffthepage, for providing our children with another wonderfully immersive day; days like these really bring topics to life!

We have seen another successful harvest collection this year!
Our Beachburians have been donating items that match their respective club colour and, on Monday, we will package all of the food that has been so kindly donated, ready to go to @brackleyfoodbank.
We are delighted with... the generosity of our Beachborough community, and cannot wait to share these items with those that need it the most. Thank you, everybody!
