On Tuesday 7th July, Hazel Class went on a brilliant trip to Weymouth Sealife Centre! When we arrived, we were greeted by our Team Leader, Molly, who took us on a VIP tour of all the aquariums and rock pools – showing us all the underwater sea creatures and explaining lots of interesting facts about them! We enjoyed going through the underwater tunnel and even had a shark swim right over our heads! After this we sat in the shade to eat our lunch and enjoy an ice cream from the shop, before ending the day with a visit to the Splash Zone to cool off! Hazel Class have had a fabulous day out and we would like to say a HUGE thank you to The Friends of Mountjoy for funding this trip.

Our Under the Sea themed prom went down a storm! What a fantastic evening celebrating our wonderful leavers.
All of the students looked amazing in their outfits, each showing off their own unique sense of style. Their grand arrivals were just as impressive, with a variety of vehicles adding to the excitement and helping to make the evening even more memorable.
The disco was a huge hit, with the dance floor full all night long. A special mention must go to those students who treated us to some of the best dance moves Beaminster has ever seen – we’re sure you all know who we mean! 💃🕺
While our leavers will be sorely missed, we are incredibly proud of all they have achieved and wish them every success and happiness as they move on to their new provisions. They were truly sent off in style and thoroughly deserved such a special celebration.
The Headteacher Gill said “It was truly a magnificent send off to our treasured school leavers. It couldn’t have been done without the hard work of Donna Peterson and Natalie Flawn, our organisers, and the support of Friends of Mountjoy and the many volunteers who made this such a special event. Our families went the extra mile to make it a night to remember.”
💙 We are so proud of each and every one of our leavers and wish them all the very best for the future. 💙

Elm class had a wonderful day out with some of the class visiting Foxdown Children’s Farm in Marshwood and some joining Willow class at Crealy. All the children showed great interest in the animals at the different locations and had a great day exploring and trying some new experiences. An amazing achievement – well done Elm!

Six students from across Hazel, Chestnut and Rowan were invited to go on our annual trip fishing which is organised by The Masonic Fishing Charity. We arrived just after 10am and each student was allocated a fisherman and a goodie bag. Each child sat with their fisherman and most caught at least 3 fish to which there was great thrills about. (even about the ones that got away!) until lunch time and they then all had BBQ of hot dogs or burgers accompanied by crisps and fruit. At the end of the day each student was presented with a medal and a certificate from the charity which they get to take home and be super proud of themselves. What a credit to the school they all were today. Everyone was so proud!
