SCS Update 28/04/2023

Dear Families, 

Next week has a change in routine for our pupils. Monday is a National Bank holiday so there is no school. Tuesday is the National Education Union teacher strike day with a smaller number of specific groups of pupils in school. Local Authority transport are aware. We look forward to having all classes back in school for their full timetable on Wednesday, 3rd May 2023. 

Camden Music Festival: The annual Camden Music Festival performance at Royal Albert Hall was this week. The Camden Primary Choir performed ‘Something Special Happens’ with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment. Pupils from Swiss Cottage School were featured in the overture with their peers from Great Ormond Street hospital and UCLH Schools. Our community is so proud of the Swiss Cottage School pupils involved in the music festival.

Eid Celebrations: Classes across the school came together for an Eid celebration in the Drama studio this week. It was an incredible space and set of activities exploring through music, art, and sensory literacy. The Family Inclusion Team also organised a wonderful Eid celebration for parents. 

Summer Term Learning Information: Your child’s bag contains the following information. We look forward to a term of exciting learning opportunities with the seasonal warmer weather. 
- Summer Term Curriculum Map 
- Summer Term Targets (known as Personal Learning Intentions) 
- Summer Term Timetable

Parent/Carer Progress Meetings: It was wonderful to have parents in school across this week for the optional progress meeting with their class teacher. We will hold the End of Year progress meetings in July and will provide those dates to you at the end of this half term. 

Evidence for Learning: Your child’s ‘Evidence for Learning’ journal includes an upload of featured learning this week. Please upload a key moment of learning at home that you want to share back to the class team.  

National Education Union Strikes: The next national teacher strike day is Tuesday, 2nd May 2023. Families have received a text and email today confirming the cohort of pupils in school due to behaviour plans, child protection plans, higher tier social services support, and/or complex medical profiles. This is the same group as yesterday’s strike day, and Local Authority transport are aware. Please call us on 02076818080 if you have any questions. 

Wishing all of our families a safe and enjoyable bank holiday weekend. 

Yours Sincerely,
The Senior Leadership Team
