Following an exciting year in Pre-Prep 1, our children move on to Pre-Prep 2!
In PP2, the children immerse themselves in a stimulating curriculum that is linked to English, Maths, Science, History, Geography and Art, amongst other subjects. The topic of the Great Fire of London is a ...particular highlight, where they are transported back in time to 1666 with 'History Off the Page', for a jam-packed workshop. Fun continues around the campfire in Forest School, where children burn a variety of aprons to find the most suitable material for a bakers’ apron!
Pre-Prep 2 is also where independence truly grows; our children have a 'Bananas in Pyjamas' overnight sleepover at school, in preparation for their first two-day residential trip to Woodrow High House, where they partake in a variety of fun activities. Not only do the children visit Woodrow, but Woburn Safari Park, and local Strawberry Farms too - this year really is full of adventure for our Beachburians!
In the classroom, new and interesting topics are introduced; this includes creative writing in English, place value and number bonds in Maths, and habitats and food chains in Science. There is further opportunity to express themselves in Art, Music, and Drama, where junk modelling, role play, and playing musical instruments are frequently visited too.

"Conemur tenues grandia."
Although we are small, let us try for great things.........And that, is exactly what we have done!
At Beachborough, charity is an integral part of school life and we are proud to support a variety of local, national and international charities ...each year. We believe that it is essential that our pupils grow up understanding how important it is to support others and to reach out to others in need.
This year we have raised the staggering amount of £30,100.00 for Mary's Meals UK, Brain Tumour Research, Dogs for Good - UK, Place2Be - Children's Mental Health Week and many others!
Thank you to all children across the school and our committed parent community who continue to give back, with our fundraising efforts.

Children join Pre-Prep 1 from the age of 5, and the school day begins to follow a more structured timetable. Although the children follow the National Key Stage One Curriculum, our Pre-Prep teachers ensure that a broad and exciting range of lessons and activities are delivered to the children on a ...daily basis.
A specialist subject that is introduced from Pre-Prep 1 is Computing. Here, the children use programmable toys such as Bee-Bots, and a software called Kodable. They will spend the academic year illustrating an eBook using the web, and use the simulations in Sherston Coding to problem-solve and complete the program. Core subjects such as English, Maths and Science, alongside the Performing Arts, French, Sport, PSHE and Religious Studies are also explored by PP1, and children are taught at their own individual level so they can progress at the right pace.
School trips are also an exciting element of PP1, where children have the opportunity to visit Turweston Aerodrome, Stoke Bruerne Canal Museum, and the British Motor Museum, as well as experiencing immersive days that call for dressing up! Pre-Prep 1 is a place where expectations are high in terms of behaviour; we teach them how to show empathy, to be kind, honest, and considerate towards others, and the children's independence and confidence begins to grow significantly!

The Boardman Building is home to our children in Nursery to Form IV, and with vibrant, inviting classrooms, this is the perfect environment for our Beachburians to spend some of their first school years.
At Beachborough Prep, we welcome children into Nursery from 2.5 years old, and their ...space is shared with our Kindergarten children, who are often found playing together both inside and outside of the classroom. Our youngest learners spend considerable time outdoors in their own little garden, which includes a living willow den, raised beds for growing vegetables, and a plethora of toys and activities for the children to enjoy.
With the national Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum as our framework for Nursery, Kindergarten and Reception classes, we focus on teaching, supporting and challenging each child within key areas such as: communication and language, Literacy, Mathematics, and physical development. Specialist subjects like Music are also introduced from 2.5 years old, with French coming into play for our Reception children.
There is ample opportunity for our youngest children to leave the grounds of Beachborough, and set off on exciting trips too. Whether that be to the local library or cafe, or further afield to the Natural History Museum in Oxford, our children enjoy a range of engaging activities throughout the year.

On Saturday 29th June, our wonderful parent community, @beachboroughfriends, held the bi-annual Summer Ball at the charming venue of @blackpitbrewery. The theme this year was 'a midsummer night's dream', and over 150 guests, made up of current Beachborough parents and staff, put ...their glad rags on and came together for the highly awaited event.
Following a drinks reception and canapes on the lawn, the guests sat down for a delicious dinner, courtesy of award winning caterers, @lemon_zest_cuisine. But the night was just beginning, and a silent auction swiftly followed, where attendees had the chance to “bid lots to raise lots” for four amazing charities: Mary’s Meals, Your Local Air Ambulance, Brackley Food Bank, and Beachborough Friends. We extend a huge thank you to our 14 sponsors, who so generously supported this event!
As the night continued, The Blue Jets got the party started with some incredible covers of floor-fillers, and the guests danced the night away before the arrival of carriages at 1am. On behalf of Beachborough Friends, we'd like to thank everybody who attended, donated, and helped to make the event so successful; we're looking forward to doing it all again in 2026!

Our annual Speech Day took place on Friday 5th July, where children in FIII-FVIII, families, friends, and staff gathered to celebrate the final day of the summer term.
Wonderful speeches were made my Mrs Mitchell, our Head Beachburians, Chair of Governors, and Year Group Coordinators, who ...announced the winners of many awards and trophies. We celebrated the endless successes of the children, and said final farewells to members of staff and our FVIII children, whose time at Beachborough has sadly come to an end.
We were also lucky enough to have the inspirational @mushyasghar join us, who concluded Speech Day with a fantastic presentation, sharing his own personal journey and how teaching has had a profound impact on his life.
We'd like to say a huge thank you to everybody who attended very special occasion; we hope you have a wonderful summer!
