Southey Super Six - Inspiring Experiences for Every Child

At Southey Green, we believe that education should spark curiosity, build confidence and create unforgettable moments. That’s why we’ve developed the Southey Super Six — a unique set of aspirational experiences tailored to enrich every child’s learning journey.

Each year group enjoys six carefully chosen activities, each linked to one of our six key areas:

• STEM
• Outdoor Learning
• Personal Development
• The Wider Curriculum
• Creativity
• Enrichment

These experiences aren’t just exciting milestones to look forward to — they’re powerful opportunities to build cultural capital, broaden horizons and nurture skills that support academic success and personal growth. From exploring nature to unleashing creativity, the Super Six helps shape confident, well-rounded learners ready for the future.

Take a look at just some of the incredible experiences our children enjoy as part of the Southey Super Six—a unique approach that brings learning to life and makes every day unforgettable.

Year 6 - Learning Straight from the Heart

Our Year 6 scientists took their learning to the next level as they explored the circulatory system in a truly unforgettable way—by dissecting a real heart! This hands-on investigation gave pupils the chance to see the incredible structures they’ve been studying in class, from the chambers and valves to the major blood vessels that keep our bodies alive. The session was full of curiosity and excitement as children worked like real biologists, asking questions, making observations and deepening their understanding of how the heart powers the human body. It’s science in action—messy, fascinating and inspiring!

Year 4 - Become an Anglo Saxon

Year 4 stepped back in time for an unforgettable Anglo-Saxon and Viking Day with none other than Owald the Anglo-Saxon! The classroom was transformed into a world of longships, shields and sagas as pupils discovered what life was really like in the Dark Ages. Children dressed the part, handled authentic replica artefacts and learned the secrets of Viking warriors and Anglo-Saxon settlers. Olaf brought history to life with thrilling tales, fascinating facts and hands-on activities that had everyone hooked from start to finish. From crafting runes to exploring Viking battle tactics, the day was packed with excitement, laughter and learning. Year 4 didn’t just study history—they lived it!
