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.

Post-16 learn to ski
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!
Post-16 Graduation Day
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.
DofE Bronze expedition
Post-16 DofE Bronze expedition complete!
Well done to an amazing group of students who today returned from a two day expedition which included pitching up their tents and sleeping in a field last night. They returned very tired from the challenge but proud of their achievements. Also well done and thanks to Di Williamson and Matt Doyle – it was quite a challenge for them too!
