KS3 and 4 experienced the power of live theatre on Friday when we had the ‘Handlebards’ visit Mountjoy for the day.
We were treated to an engaging and fun performance of Shakespeare’s ‘Macbeth’ and were entranced throughout the whole 70 minutes.
Lots of laughter, disgusting moments and even staff getting up on stage! The afternoon saw the pupils developing their own acting skills becoming key Macbeth characters.
It was inspiring to see all of the students participating and most even had a go at performing to their peers.
What an amazing experience! A big thank you to FOMS for funding this.

Ash Class had a great time working with The Bank of Dreams and Nightmares for Museum Takeover Day!
They took over Bridport Museum and shared their own stories for many of the objects on display.

A busy Autumn term in Ash class. Making bird feeders, preparing cakes for Hello Yellow Day, museum take over day with Bank of Dreams and Nightmares, sailing before the cold set in and using money in maths.

As part of an Ash Careers lesson, we took a visit to SNAPs in Bridport, Shoe Lane to see their Toys, Games and Collectibles shop. One of our students caught an interview with Tim using questions we’d planned in class. Tim shared how we can turn our passions and special interests into work when we’re older. Students then selected some interesting products from around the shop to explore and examine and some even completed transactions. We finished with a masterclass in painting miniatures. Thanks Tim and Jamie for inviting us into your lovely shop for our Careers lesson.

Our current KS4 and Post 16 enjoyed their Mascarade themed Prom last week. Students arrived in a range of vehicles including, a motorbike, Range Rover and a Ford Mustang. All students partied the night away to a disco and enjoyed buffet and refreshments. This is able to happen because Friends of Mountjoy were able to make a donation to largely pay for the event. Thank you to all the staff for everything they did.
