Head boy Elections
This week the School Council hosted the school community in the Head boy Elections. Pupils and staff all cast their vote to choose who would represent them as Head boy and Deputy Head boy.
After the votes were counted there was a winner, and a tie for second place.
Mr Penfold presented the Head boy, and the two Deputy Head boy badges, in front of the school the next day.
Congratulations to:
SC - Head boy
LH & JLS - Deputy Head boys

In Year 8 ICT pupils have been designing a website for a fictional company "Smoothie World". As part of this process the needed to use a programme to design and make a company logo.
In CDT pupils have been doing product design for a chocolate bar. They have been looking a designing the wrapper and the intended customers to market to.
Pupils have shared skills across both subjects and created some excellent logos and product packaging.
3DRB celebrated 'International Rabbit Day' on 27th September 2023, to mark this we created our own 3D rabbits. Each child in the tutor group put their own spin on their rabbits and were very happy with how they turned out!
An Unexpected Employer Encounter
Today was a 1st in Polygon School history. Our playground became a landing pad for the Air Ambulance service. They were responding to an incident in the city centre and we were the quickest access point.
When the excitement died down the Pilot and returning Paramedics were kind enough to let our pupils have a look at the helicopter and answered some questions about their job and what they do.
We were happy to be a landing pad for them and they took off after completing their call out. They pupils all behaved exceptionally during the arrival and departure in this "Once in a lifetime" moment and we were proud of the maturity they all showed.
As it was the last after school cookery club of the year, we made Cookie Monster Oreo Stuffed cookies! There was a great turn out for this last session and the boys really enjoyed making something different and a bit strange as a treat!
Well done on another successful school year boys and thank you for a lovely ASC!
All year 7 pupils have been offered the opportunity to attend Southampton Water Activity Centre (SWAC) for 3 sessions over 3 weeks. Each session a different activity was on offer which included raft building, paddleboarding, mega SUP and sailing. I am really proud of how each individual got on and the progress they have made.
