Post 16

The students all had an amazing time at Bunn Leisure in Chichester over the weekend, here’s a few photos showing some of the things they got up to.

Post-16 plan to get growing in their new polytunnel! They will be growing some foods to use for their own lunches and some plants to sell for their enterprise work. The work they do will contribute to elements of their Diploma in Skills for Further Learning and Employment.

On Friday the Post-16 ski group started learning how to use the button lift and skied from the top of the training slope!

Beaucroft students had a great time taking part in the pancake race in Wimborne.

The Post-16 ski team are making good progress with everyone now coming down the beginner slope independently!

A few Post-16 students spent the day with the Grounds Maintenance team at Christchurch and East Dorset Council planting up a new bed in Wimborne. It was a really successful day enjoyed by all.

Some of our Post-16 students have joined the Active Ability Programme, which is part of Active Nation, to learn to ski at The Alpine Snowsports Centre in Southampton.

Here are some pictures from day one and day two – we will keep you updated with how they are doing!

Well done to our eight post-16 leavers who all graduated on Friday with a Diploma in Life Skills at Entry Levels. Seven students also completed their full Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Award and one student passed three elements. They all had a wonderful day and will be very much missed here at Beaucroft.
