On Tuesday 3rd June, we enjoyed a visit from performance poet, Spoz, who delivered a poetry workshop to our year 9 students. The students loved listening to Spoz perform his own poetry and then enthusiastically wrote and shared their own love poems. Spoz even commented on how wonderful our students are; well done, year 9. 

We are delighted to share that our Deputy Headteacher, Mrs Catherine Underwood, has been awarded the prestigious Rose of Northamptonshire award in recognition of her outstanding service to the school and wider community.

Mrs Underwood's exceptional dedication - particularly in the field of music - has made a significant and lasting impact on the lives of countless students over nearly 3 decades. We are proud to celebrate her achievements and deeply appreciative of her ongoing commitment to Sponne School

Graham Forbes - Sponne School Headteacher.

On Wednesday 7th May we had our final 'mini' careers fair of the year. This one focused on 'caring professions' and we had over 20 businesses and universities for our students to interact with. We are particularly grateful to the local businesses who took time out of their day to talk with our students - Ruby Hook Hairdressers, The Beauty Works, R. Simpson Physiotherapy, Towcester Leisure Centre, Towcester Vets and Happy Hounds.

If you think you would like to be involved in a future careers event, do get in touch with us: careers@sponne.org.uk We are always happy to accommodate visits by employers and would love to hear from any alumni.

Sponne School would like to say a huge congratulations to our two Year 10 head prefects, Ellie & Imogen, for not only being elected into the Youth Advisory Council and Youth Parliament respectively but also for their tremendous campaign efforts within school and out of school.

Both students wrote their manifestos on incredibly important topics, Ellie wrote her’s on teenage pregancy awareness and prevention and Imogen wrote her’s on suicide prevention and increased funding into school councilling.

Going forward they will be spreading awareness and creating change in areas like knife crime prevention, discrimination, young female safety, poverty and much more, and as a school we are here to support them.

We are very proud of Imogen and Ellie and hope that their representation will aid young people in the rural areas of Northamptonshire!
