Friday 27 March 2026 We are EGGstremely lucky to have FOSS! A huge thank you to our amazing Friends of Southill School for putting on such a brilliant Easter Egg Hunt today.The school grounds were transformed into a trail of mystery and excitement as children set off in pairs to crack a clever anagram challenge. Their mission was to hunt down the large hidden eggs, collect the letters and piece them together to reveal the secret word. There was plenty of teamwork, lots of thinking and even more excitement as each clue brought them closer to the final answer.To top it all off, every child was very generously given an Easter egg to take home, which was the icing on the cake after such an egg-cellent adventure.Thank you again to FOSS for creating such a memorable experience for everyone. What a wonderful way to celebrate together.

Thursday 26 March 2026 Southill Makes a Splash at the Swimming Gala This afternoon, 16 pupils from Years 5 and 6 headed to Weymouth Swimming Pool to take part in a packed programme of individual and team events. From breaststroke to front crawl, backstroke to the ever-chaotic frog float relay, the children were certainly kept on their toes… or should that be their flippers.In my 10 years at Southill, this is the first time we have entered this event, so expectations were cautious. With 13 schools competing, we knew it would be a challenge. That said, I could not be prouder of every single child who took part. Their determination, teamwork and enthusiasm were outstanding from start to finish.Special mentions:Eliza – 2nd place in Backstroke
