The feedback from families has been positive and we we look forward to the next Family Learning Week in January. ![](https://swisscottage.camden.sch.uk/images/images/JP_2025.png)We are thrilled to announce that 9 of our pupils won the Jack Petchey Foundation Award for their personal triumphs and positive contribution to the community and were celebrated in a ceremony at The Shaw Theatre on Tuesday 4th November. The winners were Aisha, Fabeeha, Lamis, Muzalifa, Abdul, Arif, Harun, James and Tahmid, all of whom came away with medals and certificates. It was a proud evening for the young people, their families and the school staff who attended. Next week, there will be no Family Coffee Morning – we are hosting a learning conference for 90 school practitioners from across the country who are keen to learn from our provision. However, we will ensure there are additional workshops and events planned this half term for families to engage with. A reminder that we encourage and support families with children in Year 9 and above to explore options for future college placements – see below for a list of dates for visit days for colleges. These visits are facilitated by our independent Connexions careers advisor Anne-Marie. Please email if you have any queries or would like to confirm your place on any of the visits. ![](https://swisscottage.camden.sch.uk/images/news/b622074fe8eb3221a0d241b44f6707f7.png) Yours Sincerely, Syra Sowe Principal (Interim) [Click here to download a printable version of this letter.](https://swisscottage.camden.sch.uk/files/SCSNewsletter071125.pdf) [ End of Half Term Newsletter ](https://swisscottage.camden.sch.uk/news/2025-10-24-end-of-half-term-newsletter) [ SCS Newsletter 14/11/2025 ](https://swisscottage.camden.sch.uk/news/2025-11-14-scs-newsletter-14-11-2025) ### [Latest News](https://swisscottage.camden.sch.uk/news) [![Image of SCS Newsletter 06/11/2026](https://files.schudio.com/swiss-cottage-school/imagecache/150x150c/news/SCS-Newsletter.png)](https://swisscottage.camden.sch.uk/news/2026-11-06-scs-newsletter-06-11-2026) #### [SCS Newsletter 06/11/2026](https://swisscottage.camden.sch.uk/news/2026-11-06-scs-newsletter-06-11-2026) 6 November 2026 [![Image of End of Half Term Newsletter](https://files.schudio.com/swiss-cottage-school/imagecache/150x150c/news/End_of_Half_Term_Newsletter_Banner.png)](https://swisscottage.camden.sch.uk/news/2026-10-23-end-of-half-term-newsletter) #### [End of Half Term Newsletter](https://swisscottage.camden.sch.uk/news/2026-10-23-end-of-half-term-newsletter) 23 October 2026 [![Image of SCS Newsletter 16/10/2026](https://files.schudio.com/swiss-cottage-school/imagecache/150x150c/news/SCS-Newsletter.png)](https://swisscottage.camden.sch.uk/news/2026-10-16-scs-newsletter-16-10-2026) #### [SCS Newsletter 16/10/2026](https://swisscottage.camden.sch.uk/news/2026-10-16-scs-newsletter-16-10-2026) 16 October 2026 - [![OFSTED](https://files.schudio.com/swiss-cottage-school/images/menu/OFSTED_OUTSTANDING-70.png)](https://reports.ofsted.gov.uk/provider/25/100096) - [![Rights Respecting Schools](https://files.schudio.com/swiss-cottage-school/images/menu/UNICEF-70.png)](https://www.unicef.org.uk/rights-respecting-schools/) - [![Ed Tech 50](https://files.schudio.com/swiss-cottage-school/images/menu/EDTECH50-70.png)](http://www.ednfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/EDTECH-50-SCHOOLS-2019_compressed.pdf) - [![T4 Global Showcase School](https://files.schudio.com/swiss-cottage-school/images/menu/T4-WEW-70.png)](https://t4.education/) - [![Music Mark](https://files.schudio.com/swiss-cottage-school/images/menu/MUSIC-MARK-70.png)](https://www.musicmark.org.uk/) - [![Quality in Careers ](https://files.schudio.com/swiss-cottage-school/images/menu/Quality_in_Careers_Standard_70.png)](https://www.qualityincareers.org.uk/) - [![Eco Schools](https://files.schudio.com/swiss-cottage-school/images/menu/ECO-SCHOOLS-SILVER-70.png)](https://www.keepbritaintidy.org/ecoschools/) - [![Healthy Schools Silver](https://files.schudio.com/swiss-cottage-school/images/menu/Healthy_Schools_Silver_-70.png)](https://www.london.gov.uk/what-we-do/health/healthy-schools-london/awards//) - [![Quality Mark Gold](https://files.schudio.com/swiss-cottage-school/images/menu/PD-QUALITY-MARK-70.png)](http://www.lcll.org.uk/uploads/3/0/9/3/3093873/faqs_aug_12.pdf) - [![Sport England](https://files.schudio.com/swiss-cottage-school/images/menu/SPORT-ENGLAND-70.png)](https://www.sportengland.org/) - ![SIMS](https://files.schudio.com/swiss-cottage-school/images/menu/SIMS-70.png) - [![Centre of Excellence](https://files.schudio.com/swiss-cottage-school/images/menu/YE-CENTRE-70.png)](https://www.young-enterprise.org.uk/) - [![fmsis](https://files.schudio.com/swiss-cottage-school/images/menu/FMSIS-70.png)](https://www.gov.uk/topic/schools-colleges-childrens-services/school-college-funding-finance) - ![TIPiC](https://files.schudio.com/swiss-cottage-school/images/menu/TIPiC_70.png) - [![DFE](https://files.schudio.com/swiss-cottage-school/images/menu/DfE-70.png)](https://www.compare-school-performance.service.gov.uk/) ### Contact Us **Swiss Cottage School** 80 Avenue Road London NW8 6HX Tel: 020 7681 8080 (8am-4:15pm) ### Useful Links - [Term Dates](https://swisscottage.camden.sch.uk/parents/termdates) - [SCS Charity](https://swisscottage.camden.sch.uk/support-us/fundraising) - [Card & Design Shop](https://employme-card-design.myshopify.com/) - [Privacy Notice](https://swiss-cottage-school.schudio.com/files/documents/policies/Privacy_Notice_Swiss_Cottage_School_Organisation_21-22.pdf) - [X](https://twitter.com/swisscottagesch) © Copyright 2020–2026 Swiss Cottage School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://swisscottage.camden.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
