🍳 A Tasty Day in the Kitchen at our Skippool Campus!

Today’s cooking class was all about choice, confidence, and hands‑on learning. Students selected their own recipes to practise over the next few weeks, choosing dishes they’d love to be able to cook independently at home.

On the menu were some fantastic favourites:

• Freshly baked bread
• Chicken pasta bake
• Corned beef hash
• Sausage and vegetable bakes

Across each session, students are building essential practical skills - from measuring ingredients accurately and chopping vegetables safely to handling raw foods, following step‑by‑step instructions, and using both the oven and hob with growing confidence.

By working on recipes they’ve chosen themselves, learners are not only developing independence in the kitchen but also strengthening their choice making ability.

🔥 Careers Week Highlight - A visit from the fire service!🔥�

An exciting visit from our local Fire Brigade, and what an inspiring afternoon it was.

Our students got a hands-on look at life as a firefighter - exploring uniforms and equipment, listening to sounds (including sirens), and meeting and engaging with crew. A huge thank you to the firefighters who took the time to visit us and engage with our students.

What an unforgettable experience for Careers Week.

🍻 Careers Week Highlight - trip to Lancaster Brewery! 🌟

Our Lancaster students had an unforgettable visit to Lancaster Brewery today as part of our Careers Week programme.

They explored the brewery’s operations, learned about the craft behind brewing, and discovered the wide range of career paths within the industry. From production to marketing, sustainability to hospitality, it was a brilliant chance to see how a local business brings its products to life.

A huge thank‑you to the Lancaster Brewery team for opening their doors and giving our students such an inspiring behind‑the‑scenes experience. Careers Week just keeps getting better!

🎉 Careers Week Highlight - A visit from Lancaster Police! 👮‍♂️

Today we were thrilled to welcome the Lancaster Police to our Lancaster campus as part of our Careers Week activities.

Students had the fantastic opportunity to chat with officers and even try on some of the equipment. There was plenty of excitement as they got a closer look at the resources and tools used in real policing.

A huge thank‑you to the team for giving our learners such an inspiring and hands‑on experience.

What a fantastic World Book Day here at Beaumont College! 📚

Students and staff went all‑out, dressing up as their favourite characters - from classic storybook heroes to modern icons. The creativity and enthusiasm across campus were incredible.

We even had a free mystery book giveaway, adding an extra bit of magic to the day. A huge thank‑you to everyone who joined in and helped bring the joy of reading to life!

Trip to Space

A group of SC/IC learners visited Space recently, where they had the opportunity to put their learning into real-world situations. Throughout the visit, learners practised key skills such as communicating with others, exploring a new environment, and sharing space respectfully as part of a group.

It was especially positive to see learners overcome initial hesitations to take part in activities, try something new, and build confidence through encouragement and support. The trip provided a fun, meaningful experience that reinforced independence, teamwork, and personal growth.

A beautiful new addition is taking shape in the sensory garden - our very own Willow Dome!

Built by the amazing Fairfield Orchard Volunteers and Forest Schools group, with expert guidance from Graham, it’s already looking wonderful.

This is just the beginning. Over the next few weeks we’ll be adding natural touches like log seating and flooring, creating a sheltered, inviting space for forest school sessions.

We can’t wait to see it come into its own as spring arrives!
