Benny's Grand Tour: Back Home to Beaminster St Mary's Academy! The adventure is over, and we are absolutely delighted to announce that Benny the Elephant has completed his grand tour and is finally back with the children at Beaminster St Mary's Academy! After his "Stampede by Sea" holiday event, Benny decided to explore some of Dorset's best sights before returning to our children at school! Scroll through his photo album below to see where he went! Benny started with some stunning views, taking in the length of the coast from Abbotsbury Hill. He then headed right down to the sea, exploring the dramatic cliffs and shingle beach of the Jurassic Coastline near Seatown. Before turning inland, he made sure to get a photo with the iconic Colmer's Hill looming in the distance. After one final pit stop on the road home, it was a quick journey through Beaminster Square and past St Mary's Church, before heading back to the school! What an incredible adventure! We're so happy to have Benny back. Give this post a to welcome him home! A massive thank you to everyone who supported us in raising money for Weldmar Hospicecare during this journey! #BennyTheElephant #BeaminsterStMarys #StampedeBySea #DorsetLife #Weldmar #ColmerHill #WelcomeHome Diocese of Salisbury Academy Trust
