Communication to the Office - Please help us to help you more efficiently by adding your child's name and class to the subject line of an email. Not all staff who deal with our office emails know these details by association with a personal email address and an adult's first name - it delays processes considerably looking for the information.
School Year Diary Dates - We are still waiting for the website admin team to upload our year of diary dates. In the meantime, you can access our 24/25 Year calendar by clicking here. Please note that these dates will only be changed if there becomes an operational necessity - last year we only made one change. So please put them in your diary to support your planning.

Medical Tracker notifications - We use the medical tracker system to record any first aid given to children when they sustain an injury in school. Through the system, you will receive an email notification for any minor injury detailing any treatment given. For any serious injuries, we will ring you to explain and discuss treatment and any suggested next steps.
Asthma Updates - Forms were sent out in July to request any needed updates for those children who we know are asthmatic. If you have not updated us please do so as soon as possible. If you are new to us and your child has asthma or they have been diagnosed over the holiday period please contact the office by email (office@swavesey.cambs.sch.uk).
Labelling Uniform and all personal items - we are already finding unnamed items and having issues returning them to their owners. Please ensure all clothing, bags and water bottles are named. This enables us to ensure any lost property is returned quickly.
Guitar Lessons -Our resident guitar teacher, Mr Cory, may now have some available 30min slots (£19.25 per session) and/or 15min slots (£9.62 per session)! If your child is interested in learning the guitar, please contact Mr Cory via email at jimmypagefans@hotmail.com. Please include:- pupils name, parent/guardian name, school name, class teachers name for 24/25 term, home address & mobile phone number. Please book early to avoid disappointment. Please note if you have already been added to my waiting list, you will be the first to be offered any spaces that become available.
Year 6 - Year 6s are allowed to walk home with written permission from parents/carers. If you are happy for your child to walk home, please email the school office to confirm this, using 'Year 6 walking home' as your email subject. Any child without permission will be expected to be collected by an adult. Any permission from the summer term needs to be confirmed by email for this new school year.
