SCS Update 04/11/2022

Dear Families,

It was wonderful to welcome pupils and families back to school during this first week of the half term. This half term has a total of seven weeks and we are looking forward to exciting learning opportunities for pupils through the seasonal change and curriculum themes. 

Evidence for Learning: A workshop took place this week for families to learn about Evidence for Learning. The next workshop is taking place on Thursday, 10th November, 10:00-11:00. We will continue with the upload of Evidence for Learning into the family portal on a two-week cycle. The dates for this half term are:
Friday, 4th November 2022
Friday, 14th November 2022
Friday, 28th November 2022
Week of 12th December (final week of half term)

Rail Strikes: A high number of staff do not live in the local Camden area. We also have a group of staff that live outside of the London boroughs. Staff use rail, overground and underground trains to travel to work. There are multiple strikes scheduled across next week:
7th and 9th November (national rail strikes) 
10th November (Transport for London tube strikes)

If you drop off your child, please be aware that the staff member receiving them for drop off / pick up may be different. This is due to the longer journey time for our staff. They will be trying their best to make it into school by 9:30am. Thank you in advance for your patience. 

Parent / Family Workshops: There are three family workshops planned through KIDS and the NHS Therapies team:
Preparation for Adulthood: 11th November 10-2:30pm at the Greenwood Centre
NHS Toileting Workshop: Tuesday 29th November 2022 at Swiss Cottage School
NHS Food Tolerance Workshop: Tuesday 6th December 2022 at Swiss Cottage School

Information on all three is located below and through the school website. 

We wish all families a safe and enjoyable weekend. 

Yours Sincerely,

The Senior Leadership Team
