HEADTEACHER UPDATE 15.6.22

June Update 15.6.22

Dear SWPS Families

It has been a fantastic start to the summer half term.  We have been extremely impressed by the enthusiasm and positive attitude the children have shown towards their learning.  Thank you so much for ensuring the children are dressed in their correct school uniforms and correct P.E uniforms on their P.E days.

We have worked really hard in arranging some trips for our children.  It has been difficult to book the trips and, in an effort, to keep costs low, we have managed to book trips for multiple year groups on the same day.  You will have received a letter outlining the costs and trips available for your child.  A voluntary contribution of £15 per child will support towards the cost of the trip (entrance fee and coach costs). Details for each trip will be uploaded to class Dojo and website as well as emailed to all parents of relevant classes.

Curriculum News:

The curriculum overviews and creative homework have been shared by class teachers.  They will be on the class story – Dojo, class pages on the website and paper copies will be available on request.
