NEW GRASS FOOTBALL PITCH
A new grass football pitch is on the way! It will cover more than
four thousand square metres, on land beside the Senior School.
In addition to football matches, this facility will accommodate other sports such as cricket, rugby, hockey and athletics throughout the school year.
Our goal is that it will be available for use from September 2012, to kick off the new school year: what an exciting prospect!

INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE
During the course of this week Southlands English School in Rome has been registered with the International Baccalaureate Organisation in what is known as a consideration phase. I shall also be enrolling in a compulsory workshop for Principals which will take place during the summer vacation. The process of becoming an IB school takes between two and three years and we shall keep you informed every step of the way.
We currently offer the course which leads to the A (Advanced) Level qualification and will continue to do so while we are working our way through the IB accreditation process.
While A level does not have the word “International” in its title, it is an accepted form of entry into universities throughout the world, including here in Italy. It is also a very rigorous programme often suiting the students who have a clear picture of the subject they intend to study at university. I am always happy to discuss with parents what is in their child’s best interests. The important thing is to make the correct decision according to the individual needs of every student. Please do not hesitate to make an appointment to see me if I can be of help.
The ability to be able to offer the IB programme in future years, the recent membership of COBIS and the introduction of Year 13 in September 2012 are all exciting aspects of the school’s continuing development and demonstrate our commitment to providing the best possible education for your children in the years to come.
