Lytchett Minster School

👣 Our annual sponsored walk from Shore Road to Bournemouth Pier takes place on Friday 3rd July 2026, raising money for Lewis‑Manning Hospice Care, Abby’s Heroes, and a donation to our school charity My Time, which supports young carers across Dorset.

Lewis‑Manning Hospice Care provides vital support for adults and families affected by life‑limiting illness, including bereavement counselling recently used by many of our students. Abby’s Heroes supports children, teenagers, young adults and their families under the care of the Piam Brown and TYA wards at Southampton General Hospital. This charity was chosen by one of our students currently receiving their support.

All students are invited to take part. Very few choose to stay in school when the alternative is a walk along the beach for great causes. Many raise impressive amounts, often inspired by personal experiences. Each year brings new challenges, yet the Sandwalk continues to showcase the generosity of the Lytchett community. Prizes will be awarded to the House and individuals who raise the most.

Students are asked to raise a minimum of £10. They may support either Lewis‑Manning Hospice Care, Abby’s Heroes, or both. To streamline the process, we are not using sponsorship forms.

ParentPay is now open for donations until Wednesday 15th July 2026, and cash will also be accepted. Please contact your House Office with any concerns.

Our aim is to raise as much as possible for these fantastic charities.

As with all trips, students represent the school and are expected to follow behaviour expectations. Any student whose behaviour in school suggests they may pose a risk on the visit will not be permitted to attend, and refunds will not be issued.

As this event takes place during the normal school day, we have not requested medical forms. If your child’s medical information or contact details have changed, please inform your House Office.

Lytchett Minster School is offering Year 7, 8 and 9 students an incredible opportunity to take part in a 12-day Malawi Conservation Adventure in July 2028.
Expeditions are designed to build character and resilience and develop vital life skills for the future. Find out more here - https://outlookexpeditions.com/schools/lytchett-minster-school-2028

🌟 A few weeks ago, a professional film crew came into school to make a video for the Dorset Careers Hub about Work Experience. They were very keen to interview students from Lytchett about their personal aspirations and about their one week work experience last year. The video will be shown to employers across Dorset. We would very much like you to watch the 4-minute video. We are sure you will agree that the seven Year 11 students who feature in it speak very eloquently. Well done to Jamie Fisher, Lottie Van Der Hoeven, Reece Churchill, Freddie Johnstone, Gracie Conde, James Courtney, Calvin Meadowcroft.

We are very proud of you!
