As part of your Year 7 induction pack you should have received a form to complete to join our 100 Club. This is a great opportunity for you to be part of our quarterly draws and raise money for the College. We also run our own events throughout the year, with the aim of raising £10k each year, for the school to spend on equipment or improvements that enhance the students experience at school.
If you would like to be part of the PTSA, please do email us at southamcollegeptsa@gmail.com and we’ll be happy to contact you, or complete the forms in your induction pack and return them to the College.
You can also raise funds for the school whilst you shop online through www.easyfundraising.org.uk or smile.amazon.co.uk
Make sure you visit the Year 6 blog again in a few days as we will also be uploading a virtual introduction to the PTSA and the work that we do in supporting the College.

The Uniform Shop

For the second year, we are running our uniform shop initiative to encourage reuse of garments and reduce Textile waste, one of the leading contributing factors to climate change. 

You will be able to order uniform by emailing the item and size of garment that you need to the following email address: SouUniformShop@welearn365.com

Please carefully check the attached documents to see what stock we have available.

Orders will then be available for collection from the student office, this will be confirmed to you directly via email.

We are accepting donations in an honesty box which will also be held at the student office, the money raised will go to the school and enable use to continue to run The Uniform Shop and other events in future years.

N.B All uniform is second-hand and sold as seen.

Due to COVID-19 all uniform will need to be washed immediately once you bring it home. We will be unable to accept returns once an item has been taken home so please measure your child carefully before placing an order.

TEACHERS

Leave a comment

You will have different teachers for each subject so there will be lots of new people to get to know.

You will see your tutor twice a day during registration. You can ask your tutor if there is anything that you are not sure of or are worried about.

Your Head of Year works with your tutors to make sure that you are able to achieve your true potential in every area of college life. You can find them if you have any problems or if there is some- thing you think they’d like to know. Heads of Year love to hear good news!

There are lots of other members of staff in school that may not be your teachers, however they will be happy to help if you need it.

ALL MEMBERS OF STAFF AT THE COLLEGE SHOULD BE TREATED WITH THE SAME RESPECT AND GOOD MANNERS.
