• Music For Autism

  Wed 04 Mar 2026

  Music For Autism was founded in response to the transformational impact music has on the Founders own autistic son.

  Now, the members of the MFA orchestra make visits to Schools spreading their wonderful music for the pupils to move freely. Visits by their musicians mean that young people with autism can have similar access to the experience of live classical music as those of their peers who can meet the behavioural expectations of formal concert attendance
  
  We are honoured to have John and his orchestra bringing the sound of live classical music to our children.

  

• PE with Joe

  Tue 03 Mar 2026

  Today we had the talented Joe Payne, One Welwyn Hatfield award winner, at our School today, teaching some really fun PE lessons to our pupils.

  We moved the lessons outside into the playground since Spring is in the air and the sun is shining. Its such a highlight for the children, and Joe is absolutely brilliant with our pupils, teaching them about safety, patience, and that they can do anything!!

  

• Louise Selby visit

  Mon 02 Mar 2026

  We were absolutely delighted to welcome Louise Selby back to Southfield today.

  Louise is a dyslexia specialist teacher, trainer and assessor working across Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire.

  Louise aims to equip, enable and empower schools to support pupils in reaching their full potential. As we know, the right intervention, understanding and adjustments can make all the difference for pupils with specific learning difficulties and dyslexia.

  Learning is the one thing the mind never exhausts, never fears and never regrets.

  Louise, thank you for not just spending time with our children, but with our staff too - You are an absolute fountain of knowledge.

• Swans go Donutting!

  Mon 02 Feb 2026

  Swan class had a wonderful experience going Donutting at Gosling Sports Park! It was amazing to see how much fun we can all have together - from pulling up our donuts to going zooming down the slopes! Some children enjoyed going down at different speeds and spinning around. Even some of the adults participated! We are very much looking forward to all the adventures to come for Swan class! 

  

• Southfield Art Club

  Fri 30 Jan 2026

  Southfield had their first session of Art club on Friday, and it went incredibly well. For our first session, we got to know our fellow artists and have a free painting session. We used paints on canvases and easels to paint whatever came to our minds. We loved sharing our paintings with each other, discussing colours and what we drew. This week we also received our Art club badges that we can wear around school and show that we are proud artists. 

  

• Dance sessions at Southfield

  Wed 28 Jan 2026

  Woodpeckers have loved their dance lessons, explore performing, following instructions, remembering dance moves in an order and listening to the beat and the rhythm. This half term, our song has been 'Ku Fu Fighting'. We have linked actions to the music and started to piece together a whole class performance. We have also tried adding props into our performance such as ribbons. 

  

• My ASD & ADHD workshop for pupils.

  Thu 22 Jan 2026

  We have been joined by Lisa and Diane from the charity SPACE. They have been leading a workshop entitled 'My ASD and ADHD'. Each week we have focused on a different aspect of this. In week one we talked about differences, similarities and own views. In week two, we learnt more about sensory needs how we can share these with others. In week three, we explored emotions by playing fun games. The sessions will continue for the next three weeks and will continue to explore friendships, advocacy and what makes me unique!

  

• Hummingbirds at Gymnastics

  Wed 21 Jan 2026

  This half term pupils in Hummingbirds class have the opportunity to visit Stortford Gymnastics for a block of sessions. Pupils have enjoyed exploring all the apparatus and are engaging well with the gymnastic coaches to develop their skills. After only two sessions we have already seen pupils’ confidence grow, we can’t wait to see what we can achieve this half term.

  Our School Council and Junior Leadership Team joined The Holy Family School for another Voices of Hertfordshire session on the 20th of January.

  This session focused on what makes a good friend, and our pupils were able to share ideas on a good friend being a good listener, helpful and sharing their toys.

  The pupils enjoyed spending time with the children from The Holy Family and engaged well with the session.
