SCS Update 21/04/2023

Dear Families, 

A warm welcome back to all families at the start of the Summer Term, and best wishes to those families celebrating Eid today and to those who celebrated Passover and Easter last week. It is fantastic to observe the pupils enjoying their return to school routines, structures, and learning with their classmates in the school environment. 

Next week you will receive the following in your child’s bag: 
- Summer Term Curriculum Map 
- Summer Term Targets (known as Personal Learning Intentions) 
- Summer Term Timetable

Parent/Carer Progress Meetings: The optional Spring Term progress meetings take place next week. The confirmed date/time based on your preferences is listed in your child’s home-school communication book. The end of year progress meeting will be another opportunity to have this meeting with your child’s class teacher. 

Evidence for Learning: We share the steps of progress in a two-week cycle to build the picture of progress for each of the targets. You can expect these EfL journal uploads on the following weeks. 
Week 2: 24th April to 28th April: ‘Evidence for Learning’ journal upload into the family portal.
Week 4: 8th May to 12th May: ‘Evidence for Learning’ journal upload into the family portal.
Week 6: 22nd May to 26th May: ‘Evidence for Learning’ journal upload into the family portal.

National Education Union Strikes: Two additional dates were confirmed for national teacher strikes. The dates are Thursday, 27th April and Tuesday, 2nd May 2023. Please read the planning for next week’s strike date here: https://swisscottage.camden.sch.uk/news/2023-04-19-update-to-families-national-education-union-strike-action

Family Workshops: It was excellent to have family members in school for the different workshops across the Autumn and Spring Term. The Summer Term Family Workshops will be highlighted in next week’s newsletter.  

Communication: Class teachers continue to communicate with you about the school day through the home-school communication book. The weekly newsletter is shared by email, text, and is available on the school website. Teachers and the class team are preparing the day’s learning activities from 8:30-9:30 and teaching from 9:30-3:30. The class teacher is able to pick up phone call messages and emails from the school day at 3:45-4:00pm. If you email after school hours (4:30pm to 8:30am) it will be picked up by the class teacher at 3:45pm the next day. 

Contact Information: Inform the school if your address, phone number(s), or other key information has changed. Please state your child’s name, class and the updated information in an email to admin@swisscottage.camden.sch.uk or with a phone call to reception on 02076818080. 

Wishing everyone a great weekend. 

Yours Sincerely,
The Senior Leadership Team
