Leavers Assembly and BBQ

Leavers Assembly and BBQ

Jul 4, 2024

On Thursday of last week we had our annual leavers assembly where we waved off seven students . All were given a prom photo from the night before and sung out to “So Strong by the whole school” . We wish each and every leaver the best of luck in which ever path they have chosen.

M&M Theatrical Productions performing Oliver Twist

M&M Theatrical Productions performing Oliver Twist

Jul 4, 2024

M&M Theatrical Productions put on an amazing performance of Oliver Twist in our school hall on Friday . We were transported to Victorian London and were immersed in the Classic Charles Dickens story, with amazing songs and set designs to keep us all enthralled. The pupils sat so well throughout it all from Acorns all the way to Post 16! We were all so engrossed that I didn’t have time to take any photos!

Lots of students came to see me after the show to tell me their thoughts:
“I’d give it 10 out of 10”
“It made me cry- it was so emotional”
“That Bill Sykes is so mean and nasty”
A big thank you to the wonderful Happy Days Charity who funded the majority of the cost and without whom we may not have been able to afford to give the students of Mountjoy this amazing experience.

Also, a thank you to our wonderful Friends Of Mountjoy School, who funded the remainder of the cost so that all students could enjoy the performance with no cost to families.

The last College visit for Ash class this academic year was at SWRAC near Dorchester.  A small friendly college set in the Dorset countryside with lovely staff and students who spent the day with us telling us about their college and experiences. SWRAC have a range of animals including sheep, goats, donkeys ,and chicken that we enjoyed spending time with.

Masonic Fishing Trip

Masonic Fishing Trip

Jun 21, 2024

A small group of students were treated exceptionally well at Higher Kingcombe Fishing lakes today.  The Masonic Fishing Charity supported and entertained them all day.  Every student caught at least one fish.  Some were big and some were tiny.  It didn’t matter because we all congratulated each other on their achievements.  All the students and staff were treated to a lovely BBQ for lunch before a presentation where all the students were given a medal and a certificate.  A great day out!
