Last week we said goodbye to our Year 11 and Year 14 students. We had a lovely time at the Leavers’ Prom at Merley House. Lot’s of fun and dancing! A memorable evening for all involved.

We are delighted to announce that our first brand new Variety Minibus has arrived! Some of the pupils helped us celebrate its arrival by singing ‘The Wheels on the Bus!’ We would like to take this opportunity to thank the following: The Geoff and Fiona Squire Foundation, The Louis Ross Foundation and The John Thornton Young Achiever’s Foundation for their very kind and generous donations. 

Our annual 11th Beaucroft’s Got Talent event was possibly the best ever with over 50 acts auditioning. The atmosphere in the hall was amazing and perfectly illustrated our inclusive, talented and supportive community. Category winners included Emily May, Daisy-Mai, Jasmine, Tabby and Julian with the overall winners — Finley, Oliver and Kallin making up the Turtles boy band! Here are some photo highlights:

It was Jess’ 13th Birthday on Monday, so her mum paid for Crazy creatures to visit us on Wednesday. The children looked at, stroked and held the following… a hissing cockroach, a fire millipede, Nitro the tortoise, Kinder the leopard gecko, Rusty the bearded dragon, Puzzle and Galaxy the Royal Pythons, and Frodo the white faced owl!

The children had a great time. The man who ran it said we were the best class / school he’d been to all week. We would like to say a big thank-you to Jessica’s mum for organising such a great experience.

The “Let’s Get Cooking” group of 6 senior students cooked and prepared 60 bacon rolls for sale at 50p each in aid of Comic Relief. They were delivered to each class and were much appreciated by staff and children alike. £30 was raised!

A very special thank you goes to the Bakery Department at Tesco in Ferndown who kindly gave us all the rolls free of charge.
