Well done to students in 8AL/Bi for producing some excellent revision resources in preparation for their Biology test today.

There were some fantastic performances from the Southam College runner at this morning’s Cross-country Championships at Stratford High School. The Inter Boys (Yr 11 & 10) kicked us off, with Oliver W. producing a great run to beat many older students and headed home the rest of the team, James E., Jasper J and Charlie L.
The Minor Boys (Yr 7) were next and the impressive Emilio F. produced a promising run, followed by Charlie C. and Finn S.
The Minor Girls were our strongest overall team, packing well to finish as a team, Holly A., Tammy M, Bella B., Summer G and Lily R.
Our Junior Boys (Yr 8 & 9) battled well around the open and twisting course, with Ollie M, followed by Max C. and Oliver L. all competing admirably.
Performance of the day, though, came in the Junior Girls, the last race of the day. Running against girls in Yr 9, Rosa W. worked her way through the field and powering passed the leading athletes into second place, pressuring the long time leader and finishing in an impressive 2nd place. Behind her, Esme Du B., Lexie T., Zara S., and Tilly A. all ran well to challenge for the team title.
Congratulations to you all and I look forward to more Cross-Country success in the weeks to come.  It could be the start of a promising season for our Southam College runners.

Mrs Mali’s history class, 8SE3, would like to thank Linda Doyle from Southam Heritage Collection for sharing such an interesting presentation about the role Southam played in the English Civil War.

Students had fun learning about the different soldiers and uniforms and even had the chance to dress up and role play. We even learnt how King Charles I stayed in the Manor House in Southam in 1642.

Thank you for taking the time to visit us and teach us about the local area’s history.

With half term approaching the safeguarding team want to support students in keeping safe and understand the concerns in our community.

Knowledge is powerful in protecting yourself.  We have created guidance on what students can do in situations to help them stay safe and shared the different contextual safeguarding concerns we have within our community.

Have a fantastic half term and stay safe!

On Thursday afternoon the Y8 students had their first opportunity to represent the college as part of the Football programme. 

It is unfortunate that their debut game saw them come up against possibly the strongest year group at NLS, who’s team was packed with academy players from 1-11.Battling into the wind in the first half saw Southam struggle to cope with the high press of the NLS attackers and unfortunately, lapses in concentration were capitalised upon as NLS raced into an early 3 goal lead. Captain Jamie M was imperious at the back and regularly won possession and cleared pressure in an attempt to gain a foothold on the game.

In order to improve, players will need to give up their time on Monday evenings and attend after school practice. It is only here that we can develop as a team and move forward with our fixtures pre and post Christmas.

Final Score – NLS 9 – 0 Southam
Mr Lowdon

No Rugby training tonight due to all staff being involved in Football fixtures.

Congratulations to everyone who competed for their house in the Cross-country Championships. It was fantastic to see so many students brave the wet and windy conditions and there were many great performances. Results are being collated and will be announced soon, but well done once again to all those who took part!

Year 8 travelled to Kings High for the first game of the season with the squad consisting of Aiofe, Charlotte, Rosa, Phoebe H, Hannah, Eva, Sienna, Phoebe B and Scarlett. The girls started with excellent shooting and defensive pressure in the first quarter with the score being 3-2 to Kings High . Unfortunately in the following quarters Kings High increased their lead however I was really pleased with Southam for playing their own game with lots of great passing and dodging. The final score was 19-6 to Kings High.
Well done to Phoebe B for receiving ‘player’ from KHS and well done to all the girls. Proud of you all!
