Polygon School Election Results


Polygon School Election Results 

Today we held our election for Head Boy in school. We had a fantastic and enthusiastic turnout from the whole school community, including our remote voting form a group on their school residential trip.

When the results were counted we were proud to announce in assembly our Head Boy and our two Deputy Head Boys.

We are sure they will set a great example for themselves and the other pupils in school as well as being good role models to the younger pupils in school.

Boxing on the Engagement Pathways

 Pupils on the Engagement Pathways have the opportunity to do boxing as part of their timetables. Pupils work with professional coaches at either Southampton ABC in Sholing, or Golden Ring in Millbrook.

As well as being a fantastic way of getting fitter, boxing training can also significantly improve mental health by reducing anxiety and providing a healthy, focused outlet for stress.


Boxing is a popular part of the Engagement Pathways timetables, and pupils who attend are also able to gain AQA accredited boxing qualifications.

Year 9 Citizenship

 

Year 9 Citizenship

This term the Year 9 pupils have started Citizenship by looking at Democracy and how our country is run.

As part of this both groups played the 'Government Game'. Each pupils held a role in government and had to negotiate for a department budget with one pupil acting as the Chancellor allocating budgets. They needed to balance the books, negotiate and even debate raising taxes to pay for everything, or reducing budgets and cutting back. 

All pupils engaged well and had a taste of how hard it is to allocate money, increase taxes or tell people there is not enough money to go around.
