The Year 10 PPE exams will start when we return after the Easter break. It will therefore be very important, that as well as having a much-needed break, students prepare for these exams with a well-structured revision programme. Lots of information from the different departments is available on Classcharts and we will also be asking for revision materials to be posted on the school blog as well.
The exams will take place in the Sports Hall for the majority of students, and those students who have special exam provisions in place for them will be given support and direction from staff to help find their separate rooms in the new build. A list of the Student’s exam rooms and seating will be available via the School Works app early next week.
I wish you all a very Happy Easter and I look forward to welcoming you back in to our new build for the Summer term.
All the best,
Mr. MacGibbon
Head of Year 10

Year 10 – to support you in your upcoming PPEs for English Literature, the English Department have created some materials to help you with your revision. You will be sitting a full paper 2, and for paper 1 you will just be sitting the ‘A Christmas Carol’ question. Use the materials attached to help you practise for these. Good luck in your PPEs!
Thank you to everyone who has shared or donated to the school fundraising page, with the online and parent pay donations we have already raised £3000 toward the new school build! We are so grateful for all the support given in such a short space of time.

Last night the year 10 netballers played their final for the league cup at Kings High. The final was due to take place next week but because of the house trip Kings High agreed to bring the match forward.
The girls started off with a great start seeing Charlotte popping in the first shot of the game. For the first few minutes the game was going goal for goal and we thought we were in for a close, well fought match. Southam managed to sneak ahead in the last few minutes of the quarter thanks to key intercepts from Evie and Phoebe H.
In the second and third quarter Southam stretched their lead as Rosa and Phoebe H started to find it easy to feed Phoebe and Charlotte.
The final quarter saw Eva, Isla and Evie make crucial interceptions seeing Southam extend the lead further. The final score saw Southam win 23-8.
I can safely say it is one of the best games of netball I have seen the girls play. There was individual brilliance, team spirit and positive attitudes across the court. It was fantastic to see such great support from the parents, grandparents and siblings this evening, I feel it helped lift the girls performance to the next level. The girls have come a long was from losing out last year in the semi-finals. You should be extremely proud of your performance this evening.
I am so impressed with your performance this evening, well done a well deserved win!

Player’s player – Phoebe H
Coach’s player – Charlotte – tough one as everyone played so well.

This opportunity allows for students and parents to find out about the different pathways available for students after leaving Southam College. The Careers Fair will be open to all students and parents between 3.30 and 6pm.

This week all Year 10 students were offered the opportunity of a mock interview with a member of the local business community. The two mock interview days were very successful, and our students have gained valuable experience of the interview process. I am sure this experience will support all the students with their interviews for 6th form, college, apprenticeship, and jobs next year.
I would also like to thank all the volunteers who helped support this careers event.
