A group of the pupils on the Engagement Pathway took a walk down to Mayflower Park to visit Southampton Boat Show last week.
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.
4PR at the Boat Show
This week the class were invited to the Southampton Boat Show. The pupils represented themselves and the school with excellent manners and conversation skills.
We looked a a variety of boats, Bentley cars, sea planes and engaged in kayaking with Rockley Paddlesports and Scuba Diving with Adnark.
Election Day 2026
Today is a big day for our school community. All pupils will head to the polling station to vote for who they want to represent them as Head Boy.
Results will follow soon for our 2026 - 27 Head Boy and Deputy Head Boy election.
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.
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.
