• Tennis at Southfield

  Fri 13 Jun 2025

  The children in Blackbirds have been taking tennis lessons this term which they have thoroughly enjoyed.  The lessons involved lots of skills, learning how to balance bean bags and balls, learning how to control the racquet, how to co-ordinate both hands and body together and how to aim for a target.  The different games were very engaging so much so that one child has said he would like to be a tennis player when he grows up and go to Wimbledon!

• President Sports Day at St. Luke's school

  Tue 10 Jun 2025

  Some of the Years 6 pupils spent the day at St Lukes for the Sports Experience Day, sponsored by The President’s Sporting Club and The Essex Disabled Sports Foundation. The weather held, despite a few drops of rain on the way there, and we had a lovely time. The children took part in different sports and some fun activities, table tennis, basketball, pedal carts, mixed sports and derby racing. The children were most excited about the pedal carts. After basketball they all had a design painted on their face or arm. They all listened well to the instructors at each event and were kind and caring to each other. One of the highlights of the day was when they met former boxers Frank Bruno and Jason Matthew who both signed the children’s event T-shirts.  A medal was awarded at the end, and they wore them proudly back to school. They represented Southfield School beautifully.

• Understanding the World and Science at Southfield School.

  Mon 19 May 2025

  Over the next year, Southfield School will be developing the Science curriculum and working towards achieving Primary Science Quality Mark (PSQM). PSQM is a one-year evidence-informed, professional development and school improvement programme. The programme focusing on transforming the quality and profile of the Science education across the whole school, making a positive and lasting impact on Science teaching and learning. The school will receive recognition for their school through the accreditation of a highly-regarded Primary Science Quality Mark.

   

  Improvements to the curriculum have already begun, with fun and engaging lessons being planned for Understanding the World in Phase 1 and Science in Phases 2 and 3. Pupils across the school are learning to work scientifically, exploring the world around them in a hands on approach which encourages curiosity and a love for learning. We look forward to sharing more exciting updates with you as we progress through the PSQM journey.
