Years 8 Leavers’ Programme
Our Year 8 Leavers’ Programme, in the last few weeks of the boys’ Beacon journey, helps the boys to develop essential skills and offers a variety of fun and challenging opportunities as they enter the next stage of their education.
As we find ourselves in unprecedented times with COVID-19, this year the programme has been adapted to a virtual programme. It will include opportunities such as a virtual production, cooking, first aid course, careers panel, life skills, Beacon Bard and Young Musician of the Year and charity fundraising culminating with a Year 8 Leavers’ Presentation on the last full day of the term.
We hope you enjoy reading some of the highlights from the programme!
