A huge congratulations to Beachborough's Minecraft e-Sports team, who finished 9th in Europe and 39th in the world in the DAIGON Esports' international schools competition.
Throughout the year, pupils developed teamwork, communication, creativity and problem-solving skills while ...taking on challenges designed to test their resilience, strategic thinking and ability to work collaboratively under pressure.
This remarkable achievement is about much more than gaming. It showcases the future-ready skills our pupils develop through Beachborough's co-curricular programme and highlights the power of learning beyond the classroom.
We're incredibly proud of every pupil involved and all they have achieved.
Well done, team!

Speech Day 2026 was a heartwarming and joyful occasion that brought together the Beachborough community to celebrate the culmination of another remarkable school year.
Mrs Mitchell set the tone with a lovely introductory speech, where she thanked the Beachborough Friends for all of their ...hard work this year, and we said goodbye to Co-Chair, Michelle Hall, who has been an incredible support to us for over 10 years. A particularly special moment was the celebration of 10 years of Goblins, recognising a decade of cherished memories and accomplishments for the team.
With deep appreciation, the community said goodbye to valued members of staff whose contributions have helped shape the school into what it is today. Pupils from across the school were awarded prizes for excellence in academics, the arts, sport, leadership and boarding, and our new Head Beachburians for 2026/27 were announced. We also took the opportunity to thank this year's Head Beachburians, Arabella and Ben, for their commitment and service to the school over the past year.
We were delighted to welcome Pippa Bennett-Warner, an accomplished actress and proud former Beachburian, as our guest speaker. Pippa delivered an inspiring address, reflecting on her journey from Beachborough to a successful career on stage and screen. She encouraged pupils to embrace opportunities, stay true to themselves, and pursue their ambitions with confidence. Last year, she directed, co-wrote and starred in 22+1, a short film exploring Black maternal health in the UK, highlighting her commitment to using storytelling to raise awareness of important social issues. It was an honour and a privilege to welcome her back to Beachborough.
Finally, we bid farewell to Form VIII, who will be greatly missed but who leave Beachborough well-prepared for the next chapter of their educational journey. Thank you to everybody who joined us to celebrate this special day and another successful year at Beachborough. We wish all our families a wonderful summer break.
Last Friday, our Form VIII children were lucky enough to enjoy an unforgettable visit to the British Grand Prix at Silverstone!
As they were in Bude during Enrichment Week, our Form VIIIs missed this year's Robots to Race Cars theme. Thanks to a fantastic opportunity to visit ...Silverstone, they were still able to immerse themselves in the excitement of motorsport and experience the atmosphere of one of the world's most famous racing events.
A huge thank you to Mr Perronnet for organising such a memorable day, it was an incredible experience for all!

We had a brilliant day yesterday, as Forms III–VIII took part in their Sports Day. From the outset, the children were full of energy, showing fantastic teamwork, determination and spirit.
Whether racing down the track, supporting friends from the sidelines or celebrating a success, ...true camaraderie was demonstrated throughout the day. It was wonderful to see the children proudly representing their Clubs – Boardman, Sprawson, Carder and Chappell – and coming together in such a positive and supportive atmosphere.
A huge well done to all of our Beachburians for taking part - you represented your Clubs brilliantly and did yourselves very proud!
