🎄 Christmas Kindness Phase One: Success! 🎄

Our amazing students from the SC/IC Hub at Beaumont College, Lancaster have completed the first phase of their Christmas Kindness project with flying colours! They showcased their creativity and teamwork by crafting beautiful Christmas tree decorations.

In their community and art sessions at college, students honed their choice-making and directing skills by selecting colours, textures, and items for their creations. Using visual schedules, they mastered the art of making paper chains. They also practised essential preparing-for-adulthood skills by accessing the community to purchase items and visit the venue.

Throughout the project, students have been working on their independence and living skills by following routines and instructions and engaging in social exchanges. They demonstrated employment skills by showing self-awareness and pride in their work, while effectively using their choice and preference skills.
The Christmas Tree Festival was a lovely event that the students thoroughly enjoyed participating in. They loved admiring all the beautifully decorated trees and listening to the cheerful Christmas carols during their visit to Christ Church.

We would like to extend a special thank you to our sponsors, CWR Accountants on Caton Road, Lancaster, for sponsoring a tree for us and giving the students this wonderful opportunity.

A huge thank you to everyone for their support in raising funds for a homeless charity. Plus, an extra cheer for winning first place in the over 18’s category!

Bring on Phase 2 and 3 - exciting times ahead! Stay tuned for more festive updates!

🎄 Spreading Festive Cheer in Carnforth! 🎄

Today our Transition Action Planning group took a very special trip to the Communal Garden in Carnforth (just opposite Tesco). Students have been busy decorating a set of Christmas decorations here at college, and this morning they proudly returned them to be added to the garden’s Christmas lights display going up soon. ✨

A huge thank you to Gail, who originally brought the decorations to us. As a lovely festive surprise, she gifted each of our students a selection box - which absolutely made their day!

We’re really proud of our students for supporting our local community and helping make Carnforth shine a little brighter this Christmas.

🎄 Student Union Christmas Enterprise Stall 🎄
Today our Student Union hosted a brilliant Christmas Enterprise Stall - and what a success it was!

Students have been busy over the past few weeks designing and creating their own festive products, and this morning they proudly set up shop at break time. From handcrafted decorations to thoughtful gifts, everything was made with real care and creativity.

Alongside selling items on the day, students also took orders to fulfil over the next week - a fantastic opportunity to practise teamwork, communication, and enterprise skills in a real-world setting.

A huge well done to everyone involved.

🌿 Continuing with The Power of Specialist FE Campaign – Wildlife Guardians at South Lakes! 🌿

Our Horticulture students at Beaumont College South Lakes have been making a real difference to their local environment through hands-on conservation work at Green Heart Den, a fantastic community garden hub in Barrow.

Inspired by fellow student Arran, whose passion for wild birds has motivated the whole group, the students set out to support local wildlife during the winter months. Together, they created homemade fat balls using seeds and lard, filling bird feeders and installing them throughout the gardens to help keep visiting birds well fed in the colder weather.

The group can’t wait to monitor which feathered friends stop by in the coming weeks!

This project is helping students build valuable horticulture and environmental skills as they work towards their John Muir Award – Wild Places Guardian accreditation.

💚 A brilliant example of how specialist FE empowers learners to follow their interests, develop new skills, and make a positive impact on their community.

We are so proud of:
Alfie, Kian, Isaac, Katie, Sam, Jodie, Keira, Jessica, Charlie, Erin, Reece, Kyle and Amy.

Your achievements truly highlight the life-changing impact of specialist further education, and today we celebrate every step you’ve taken.

🌟 We’re proud to celebrate the launch of The Power of Specialist FE campaign! 🌟
👉 https://specialistfe.com/

This national awareness week, coordinated by Natspec , shines a spotlight on the transformative impact of specialist further education for young people with SEND. The Power of Specialist FE campaign brings colleges, learners, and partners together across the country from 1–5 December 2025 to share powerful learner stories and highlight the life-changing role specialist FE plays in building an inclusive education system.

To officially launch the week here at Beaumont, we were honoured to welcome Councillor Margaret Pattison, Mayor of Lancaster, to campus to kick-start the celebrations.

We were also delighted to welcome back former student Gregor Gilmour, now the Co-Manager of the AT Therapy Mentor Service. Gregor is doing incredible work in the field of assistive technology — and it was inspiring to see him back where his journey began. Gregor is currently mentoring one of our first-year students, Oli, through the AT Mentors programme:

Together, we’re proudly supporting a campaign that calls on policy makers and decision takers to recognise the value of specialist FE and its essential place in transforming futures.

Here’s to a fantastic week celebrating our students, our community, and the power of Specialist FE

☕💙 Supported Internship Success at Beaumont College South Lakes! 💙☕

Reece has been leading the way on our Supported Internship programme, and we couldn’t be prouder of everything he’s achieved so far.

Reece recently began his placement at the Blue Frog Café at Dalton-in-Furness Leisure Centre - and he made an impression from day one. He mastered the coffee machine on his very first shift and has grown in confidence ever since, serving customers with a smile and keeping the dishwasher working overtime!

Reece is now stepping up to three shifts a week, showing real commitment, independence, and enthusiasm for his role.

👏 Well done, Reece - we’re all incredibly proud of you!

Our Outdoor Adventure students headed south this week for a change of scene — and to escape the shocking weather! 🌧️

Instead of battling the elements, the group spent the day exploring the Manchester Science and Industry Museum. Students really enjoyed getting hands-on with the interactive installations and discovering the newly updated Railway and Engine Gallery. Most importantly… everyone stayed warm and dry!

A brilliant day of learning, exploring, and making the most of every opportunity.

🍽️ Proud moment alert!

Since September, Saskia from our South Lakes campus has stepped out of her comfort zone and tried 10 different foods - from red pepper, cucumber and carrots, to a full KFC 'fakeaway', and even making pasta this week!

She has enjoyed some surprises along the way, and her confidence, curiosity, and positive attitude have been amazing to watch. Well done Saskia!
