Dear Families,
The Education World Forum took place this week in London and Swiss Cottage School was invited to host two Ministerial Delegations in England for the week long forum. The Ministers of Education for Bangladesh joined us to learn about our curriculum and joined lessons in the Upper School during a school tour to understand our Building Schools for the Future school provision. This was followed with presentations on the English education systems legislation for pupils with additional needs to support their considerations nationally.
The second delegation with our school community included the Vice Minister of Education for Kazakhstan and British Council Head of Education for that region. Their focus was also exploring the family of schools for a locality and the role of special school provisions. We are so proud of the pupils who shared a truly warm welcome to our esteemed guests, and also presented them with pottery created by the Sixth Form Social Enterprise to take back to Bangladesh and Kazakhstan.
Camden Active for All: A fun day out for young people and their families on Saturday 27 May 2023 2:00pm to 6:00pm at the Talacre Community Sports Centre. Activities include: Gymnastics, Football, Athletics, Basketball, Boccia, New Age Curling, Wheelchair Roller Sessions, Adapted bikes and Trampolining and rebound therapy. The flyer is inlucded in this newsletter for more information.
Weekly Family Sessions are held at the school on Wednesday, 10:00-12:00. They focus on meeting parents, learning about one another's cultures, and sharing experiences together including trips into the community. Next week's session will focus on cooking together.
Elsworthy Road Experimental Traffic Order: Elsworthy Road is behind our school entrance road. We have received updates from families that an Experimental Traffic Order camera is in place and tickets are being issued if that road is accessed during restricted times. The sign is quite small so we are alerting all families that bring their child into school.
This half term finishes on Friday, 26th May 2023. The newsletter on that date will provide the timeline on when you can expect information about the September class and teacher, and information about our Annual International Day.
Wishing all of our families an enjoyable and safe weekend.
Yours Sincerely,
The Senior Leadership Team
