Day 2 of Enrichment Week has been another success!
This morning, our Pre-Prep children worked with Mr Dimmock to code VEX robots, carefully programming step-by-step instructions and mapping out routes for their robots to follow. Meanwhile, Form V enjoyed a session with our very own Goblin ...expert, Mr Perronnet, who demonstrated how Goblin cars are built and raced. It was an inspiring experience, offering a valuable insight into what it takes to succeed as a Goblin.
Form V also took part in a variety of school-based challenges, including solving the ‘Mystery in the Pit Lane’ in English. In Maths, pupils explored a revolutionary game called Turing Tumble, building marble-powered mechanical computers to tackle logic puzzles. They also designed and raced their own balloon-powered rockets across the classroom!
Our Form VI and VII pupils took the short trip to @silverstonemuseum for an exciting day of discovery. They journeyed through the past, present, and future of British motorsport, learning about the engineering and technology that continue to shape the industry today.
Overall, it has been a brilliant day of engaging and purposeful learning across the school, and we are excited to see what Day 3 has in store!

Today was the first day of Enrichment Week 2026, with this year's theme being 'Robots to Race Cars'.
To kick the week off to a flying start, we welcomed STEMx, by Oracle @redbullracing. Our children discovered how Formula One cars are designed and built before taking part ...in a variety of engaging, hands-on activities. A standout moment was the Pit Stop Challenge, where our Beachburians tested their skills at changing F1 tyres. While we didn’t quite match the professionals’ remarkable two-second record, one team came impressively close with a time of just five seconds!
Other activities included coding robots to navigate the Monaco and Silverstone race circuits, as well as building and racing miniature cars to highlight the importance of precision and thoughtful design.

Today, the entire school has come together to take part in an exciting new charity event: Move & Groove!
We asked children to come to school in bright, colourful sportswear, ready to stay active and enjoy a day full of fun. Throughout the day, each year group has been rotating through ...a carousel of activities, including dancing, obstacle courses, circuits and relay challenges.
This fantastic effort is all in support of our main school charity, Mary’s Meals. We are aiming to raise £5,000, which would provide meals for 260 pupils for a whole year at our sponsored school in Malawi.
A special thank you goes to current parent, Ceri, for leading today’s energetic dance sessions and inspiring everyone to truly move and groove!

On Sunday 14th June, @stoweschool kindly hosted the annual Beachborough and Brackley Triathlon.
Over 300 children took part across a range of categories, from Youth to TriStar, making for a relaxed yet energetic day filled with fun, camaraderie, and success. We’re delighted to celebrate... some fantastic results: in the TS3 category, Jenna placed 5th, Darcey 7th, and Theodora 9th. In the TS1 category, Hermione and Jack were the first female and male finishers respectively, and Arlo finished 9th!
A huge thank you to the @beachboroughandbrackleytri for their continued dedication, both in coaching the children each week and in organising such a wonderful event once again.
We're already looking forward to next year's triathlon 😊

On Friday evening, our Form VIII children dressed to the nines as they celebrated the end of their Beachborough journey at the Formal Dinner and Dance.
For some, they have been part of the Beachborough family since Nursery, while others joined more recently, but all have formed lasting ...friendships and created cherished memories along the way. As they prepare to move on to their chosen senior schools later this year, we know they will take those experiences with them.
A huge thank you to the boarding team for marking the end of this chapter in such a special way for our leavers! ✨

Last Sunday, we held the annual Parent vs Staff cricket match at Beachborough!
The parents set a formidable 256 for 3 from their 25 overs with some superb batting (and even sending a few balls sky-high!). The staff responded with determination, finishing on 146 with some great ...contributions along the way.
More than the result, it was a fantastic celebration of community; the afternoon was full of laughter, support, and camaraderie. Thank you to everyone who played and came along to cheer, plus our catering team for a delicious match tea afterwards!
We are already looking forward to doing it all again next year 😊

Yesterday, our Reception children visited their friends at Juniper House Care Home. Their indoor sports day was so much fun and all of the children took part, spreading joy and cheer throughout the home. What started as a handful of spectators quickly grew to beyond the lounge's capacity and ...residents were watching the games from the hallway!
The children acted as outstanding ambassadors for our Beachborough community, chatting with residents when appropriate but showing patience and courtesy throughout their time there.
After the activities had come to an end, they were duly rewarded with a medal from one of the residents, whose grandchildren had once been Beachborough pupils! Well done, Reception - we couldn't have been prouder.

On Friday 5th June, a team of 12 pupils from Forms VI–VIII delivered an excellent performance at the @iapsuk Athletics qualifiers, held at Bedford International Stadium.
The children were competing against 53 schools, where athletes were required to finish in the top two of their events... to qualify for the next stage. We're thrilled to share that the team achieved a remarkable milestone, with 7 athletes progressing to the National Finals!
Standout results included Alex winning the U14 Boys’ 80m Hurdles, Ian taking 1st in Javelin with a record-breaking throw of 37 metres, and William winning the U13 Boys’ 1500m. Sophie achieved three 2nd place finishes, while Georgie impressed with 1st in Javelin and a relay silver alongside teammates Bebe and Amiyah.
We are so proud of all 12 athletes, who represented the school fantastically and gave their very best. We now look ahead to the National Finals at the Alexander Stadium in Birmingham on the 1st July!

Form VIII have officially completed their Common Entrance exams, and now the fun can well and truly begin!
We are super proud of FVIII for demonstrating determination, commitment, and hard work throughout the exam period. Over the next few weeks, the children will be making the most of ...their final moments at Beachborough: from a trip to the British Grand Prix to paintballing, and a day at Thorpe Park to a week in Bude, Form VIII will certainly make memories to last a lifetime.
It’s a chance to celebrate everything they’ve achieved, enjoy new experiences together, and finish their Beachborough journey on a real high. We're very much looking forward to spending their final weeks with them.
