The JTYAF has proudly supported the Beaucroft Foundation School since 2011. The funding provided is used to promote and facilitate exciting and enriching activities that greatly benefit the students. Recently, Edison Class experienced a remarkable trip to The Ancient Technology Centre in Cranborne. Despite facing challenging weather conditions, with persistent rain, the visit proved to be a valuable learning experience for the students.

This is what they told us.

We were able to sit inside one of the replica ancient buildings and our teacher built a fire whilst we listened to her talking and showing us iron age utensils , clothing and weapons. We tried a bit of weaving , made a cordage bracelet, played an iron age game and visited an iron age style forge.

 Our teacher was so knowledgeable and we would definately like to return. We are so grateful to the John Thornton Foundation for generously funding this trip .
