Congratulations to the following Year 10 students for winning the English Literature raffle for their hard work and effort towards tutor activities and for having a positive attitude to learning in lessons.

A reminder to all Year 10 students that your next Paper 1 PPE will be on Tuesday 31st March 2020. The paper will contain one question on Macbeth and a question based on your 19th Century Text. Remember to be utilising Wednesday lunch time revision in E2, your 16 week revision planner and Seneca Learning to support your revision leading up to your mock.

An electronic copy of the revision planner can be found here: https://southamcollege2016.files.wordpress.com/2020/01/year-10-gcse-revision-planner-16-weeks-cg.pdf

If you are attending the An Inspector Calls performance on Monday, why not join us for a debate style revision session beforehand? Year 10 & 11 welcome. We will be debating statements such as “Mr Birling was right to refuse Eva Smith’s pay rise”. Students are welcome to remain in the Core until the Hall doors open at 5.30pm for the performance.

Year 10 net a place in Final.

The Year 10 netball team competed against Myton this evening in a Semi Final.

The team started off the first quarter with pace which caught Myton off guard with some great feeds into the circle by Abbie Bourton and Ruby Irving seeing the girls take a 6-2 lead at quarter time. Myton shuffled their team around for the second quarter which saw a much more determined team take to the court. This unnerved Southam and saw the team make some unforced errors and by half time Myton had pulled back the score to 8-7. After a half time team talk Southam went back on court and began to play some good netball. Issy Bergandorff and Megan Free in defence kept the pressure on the Myton attack and made some great interceptions which saw Southam be able to turn the ball and move the ball down the court freely, the defence played a great part in the third quarter stopping Myton scoring any goals and increasing their lead to 14-7. The last quarter saw Southam build on their lead and with some great talking and team play and a great partnership between Rosie Dillon and Jess Carro in the circle saw Southam win 20-10.
