Following an inspection on the 8th and 9th January 2019, in our first inspection after becoming an Academy with Eastern Multi-Academy Trust, we received an Ofsted rating of "Good" in all areas.
We are very proud of our academy and what it has to offer the children who come here. Our mainly Victorian building has outstanding views out over the Fen from the playground, but has been modernised and extended over the years in order to provide excellent facilities to deliver the curriculum.
We actively promote the 'three Cs' of Care, Consideration and Courtesy and aim to create a ‘family’ atmosphere in which we learn to know and care for each other in a personal way that many larger schools cannot. Our dedicated therapy dogs, Phoebe and Chance, love getting involved in supporting the children’s mental wellbeing (especially when it means they get to be brushed or enjoy a nice head scratch!)
At Southery we are proud of our links with the local community. Over the past few years we have been able to work with local groups to provide opportunities for the children, including fundraising for the local church, care homes and the Queen Elizabeth hospital, as well as using the church as a venue for assemblies and events at Christmas and Easter.
The caring and happy environment we create enables children to fulfil their potential and grow in self-confidence, so that all children leave our academy well-prepared for the next stage in their educational journey.
