Some choices in life are too important to take lightly or rush. That’s why choosing the right setting for your child’s education is worth really thinking about. Outcomes at secondary school help determine life chances. South Axholme Academy prides itself on offering the very best academic, learning experience, from Year 7 to Year 13, with a wealth of extra curricular and enrichment opportunities to rival anything other schools and academies, private and state funded, can offer locally and regionally. From amazing examination results, year on year, to theatre trips, ski trips, sporting activities, bands and musical opportunities we have it all. This coupled with highly qualified pastoral staff mean that all students who attend the academy are supported to be the very best that they can be. In particular, success in our 6th Forms’ recent A level results was phenomenal with all students going on to their chosen pathway. It was with great pride and excitement that we waved students off to highly sought after courses including medicine as well as veterinary medicine on results day in August. Students in the 6th Form enjoy extremely favourable class sizes with specialist teaching staff alongside bespoke and focused one to one support in everything from applying to university to accessing funding and pastoral support generally. By choosing South Axholme Academy, you are investing wisely in your child’s future. Don’t believe us? Check out our website at www.southaxholmeacademy.co.uk with links to our latest Ofsted report, examination results and news and activities, or, contact Mrs C Tillen at the academy if you want to come along for a chat. But don’t leave it too late, many year groups are currently reaching capacity.

Romeo and Juliet visit Epworth Old Rectory On a glorious evening on 31st of August, Shakespeare again appeared at Epworth Old Rectory with the Handlebards' performance of Romeo and Juliet. Part of the Old Rectory's role is to be of service to the community and this performance certainly did that. The audience came from all sections of our community, from 5 year old India up to audience members in their 8th decade. They enjoyed their picnic in the grounds for an hour of more prior to the performance, ably entertained by a talented local amateur musician with a mix of folk and easily listening music, who sang again during the half way interval. His music was enjoyed by all, if the singing along, swaying and clapping had anything to do with it. Handlebards consisted of a group of four lovely, talented young actresses who kept the audience involved and enthralled with their performance, with each one taking on multiple roles within the play, including a song and dance number at the very end, which, although surprising on the night, was often an integral, part of the entertainment in Elizabethan England when these fabulous plays were first written and performed. The Rectory gardens rang with laughter during the comedy elements and quiet contemplation during the tragic parts, but no matter what was happening and where in the play I looked at the audience I saw genuine enjoyment all around, even when a member of the audience was roped in to play a dead Juliet, as the actress herself pointed out, "I can't do it, I have to be someone else!" A thoroughly enjoyable evening all round. Our thanks to Handlebards for their spirited performance, but also to all the staff and volunteers, and you know who you are, who made it such a marvellous evening. Cath Fordham
