Values and vision
Southam College actively seeks to promote British values within an atmosphere of respect, tolerance and the celebration of difference. Students are encouraged to develop moral skills and an awareness of philosophical questioning.
The secondary school’s Life Skills curriculum focuses on parliamentary democracy, in order to develop an understanding of the freedoms afforded to citizens of a democracy and the consequences of an undemocratic society.
Students’ appreciation of democracy is further enhanced by the fact that they have the opportunity to be elected to an active student council. They are also taught about democracy during year-group assemblies.
Ofsted report
“Teachers plan lessons which are at the right level of difficulty for students and which result in all students making excellent progress. Students receive effective feedback from teachers which helps them to improve their work very well. Students feel safe at the school and they have a strong understanding of safety matters. The headteacher has high expectations of all staff and students. These expectations are shared by all leaders. Consequently, students have appropriately high expectations of themselves.”
