🍂📚 Our Autumn Reading Challenge Tree! 📚🍂 Over October half-term, our pupils took on the Autumn Reading Challenge, set by Mrs Cain. The task was to read three times and write the name of the book and a little review on each leaf, whether that was three chapters of a longer book or three shorter books. Our children have done us proud! The leaves have now grown into a wonderful Reading Challenge Tree in our school corridor, full of colourful, beautifully decorated leaves and some fantastic reviews. A huge well done to every child who took part, and thank you to all the families who supported reading at home. Our love of reading is growing beautifully! 🌳 Thank you to Mrs Cain for organising such a lovely challenge. #BeaminsterStMarys #ReadingChallenge #LoveReading #AutumnReading Diocese of Salisbury Academy Trust

🌺 Remembrance Day 2026 🌺 Today, the children and staff at Beaminster St Mary's Academy came together to observe a two-minute silence in remembrance of those who have served and sacrificed for our country. We were also incredibly proud of our Year 2 and Year 6 pupils who represented the school at the Remembrance service at the Cenotaph in Beaminster Square. They showed great respect and maturity throughout the service and were wonderful ambassadors for our school. Lest We Forget. #RemembranceDay #LestWeForget #BeaminsterStMarys #ProudToRemember 🌺 Diocese of Salisbury Academy Trust The Poppies pictured were all made by our Reception Class children

An Unforgettable Day at Salisbury Cathedral! Talk about an adventure from start to finish! Despite a last-minute change in transport the day before our trip, our amazing Year 4 children took it all in their stride and had a truly spectacular visit to Salisbury Cathedral. 🏰🎵 Our pupils joined together with 27 other DSAT schools to take part in the incredible iSingPop performance. Plus, our very own school bear tagged along to join all the other school bears in the cathedral! 🧸 Within our DSAT family, the bears hold a very special meaning they are a lovely symbol to remind us that we are never alone and that we are always supported as one big community. The cathedral was filled with so much joy, energy, and powerful singing, and our Year 4s represented the school brilliantly and sang their absolute hearts out! 🎤🌟 A huge THANK YOU to all the staff, parents, and helpers who worked behind the scenes to make sure we got there safely and smoothly. We couldn't have done it without your incredible support! 👏 The children are now looking forward to performing again tomorrow morning for all their parents who couldn't be there on the day! 🎶 #Year4 #iSingPop #SalisburyCathedral #DSAT #NeverAlone #SchoolTrip #ProudSchool #Teamwork #schoolbear Diocese of Salisbury Academy Trust
