Computing at Solefield

Technology in our current time, is both amazing and terrifying depending on the perspective and the situation of the person involved.

We can converse with people across the world and see them in our classrooms using virtual reality headsets, 3D print almost anything imaginable and even use a voice command to control any appliance in home or at school; all with devices that are easily available online that can be delivered the next day. This provides the current generation of students opportunities that we as teachers never dreamed of when we were at school.

These technological advancements come with a price. The devices that we use track our every movement, what we say and what we do. This information is sold throughout the internet for whatever purposes the buyer would like. I can no longer read a book because my book needs to be charged but the plug socket is taken up with my watch and phone - even the fridge needs an update. Getting lost in technology is all too easy.

The latest total for the money raised towards the 'Buy our Bus' campaign sits at £16,000.

We are certainly starting on our way to the £40,000 target. 

All money raised from SPA goes towards the ‘Buy Our Bus’ campaign and we are very much looking forward to continuing the good work.

Solefield Weekly Tours & Open Morning 

Families whose sons may be considering a school place with us in the future are able to tour the school with our Headmistress on a Monday or Wednesday and we will hold an Open Day on Saturday 28^th January. Click here to view the double sided flyer which we feel beautifully summarises a small part of life at Solefield School.

Our record 11+ results mean that there has been an increase in interest in places at Solefield. Please rest assured that the key contributors to the pastoral and academic success of Solefield boys are our extremely small class sizes and individualised teaching and care for each of our boys and these will always remain my priorities. Another is that, although we are largely academically non-selective, it is important that future pupils are the right 'fit' for us and vice versa and this is something that we take very seriously.

We are very aware that our pupils and parents are our greatest ambassadors and supporters so please do share these open days with any families that you feel would be a good fit for our community. Prospective parents can click on the link below to book.
