This year’s open evening once again proved the popularity of Southmoor amongst parents as visitors flocked to the academy to find out more about us. It was fantastic to see prospective pupils and their parents in person again, showing off what makes us special and why we are the most oversubscribed school in Sunderland. Everyone had a fantastic time meeting our passionate staff, supported by our enthusiastic student helpers and trying out the dozens of fun subject-based activities we had on offer. Pupils left with goodie bags bursting with free prizes as well as big smiles on their faces. 

Thank you to everyone that attended, we hope to see you all again very soon. 

If you have a child in Year 6, you can now apply for their place at Southmoor. If you have not done so already, click here to visit the Sunderland Schoo Places Application Page. 

Also, congratulations to Ella Dunn from Hill View Junior Academy for winning our guess the mascot’s name competition. Ella correctly guessed the bear’s name which was Connel.
