As part of your role as an ambassador, you will have the opportunity to develop democracy, mutual respect and individual liberty on a whole school basis.

Are you interested in developing cultural opportunities for all year groups?

Would you like to encourage all students to show kindness, confidence and resilience through these key virtues?

Being an ambassador is open to all year groups

All appointments will be held in The Core block with parking available outside the building, please do not arrive more than 5 minutes before your allotted time. To aide with social distancing we are also asking parents to wait in their cars or outside The Core until a member of staff invites you in for your Tutor appointment. Parents and students are more than welcome to wear a mask or face covering if they would prefer to do so.

We look forward to welcoming you to Southam College.

After school clubs will restart week commencing Monday 5th October, with sessions being offered on the following dates:

Monday – Y7 Football & Netball

Sessions will run from 15.40 – 16.30, so students can take advantage of the Late Bus provision.

Students who do not have PE timetabled on the day of their club, should attend school in their full UNIFORM and bring PE kit to change into after school.

FOOTBALLERS please meet in the SPORTS HALL and NETBALLERS please meet in the GYM.

All students in school on time for the next 10 school days will be entered in to a prize draw to win a Samsung galaxy tablet.

Tomorrow (Thursday 24th September) all Year 7 students will have their school photograph taken by the School Photography Company. Therefore, students should attend school in full school uniform, and do not require their PE kits.
