Updates from Mrs Norden

We have come to the end of an extremely busy year as we have returned to national accountability systems as well as annual events and activities, whilst still learning to live with Covid.

 We continue to have been less impacted by Covid than many schools without having to close any classes this term despite a rise in cases through the end of June and July.  As we move into the new academic year we will be reinstating the last of the activities and events from pre-Covid times but will continue to have a 'Covid' plan to put in place should we have rises in cases at different times of the year as required by the Local Authority (LA). 

The LA have sent out information this week detailing the concern by health professionals in the autumn term and the recommendation for vaccinations.  Please click here to access the NHS information on Cambridgeshire vaccination outreach programme across the summer for school age children and click here for the FAQs linked to vaccinations for children.

Rotary Club - YOUNG PHOTOGRAPHER 2022/23 

THEME 'THE BEAUTY OF ARCHITECTURE'

We are again running the Young Photographer competition. I would not normally send details until the new school year but in view of the subject matter, I thought the summer holidays may give an opportunity for some interesting photographs.

The rules are the same with one photograph being submitted digitally with brief description of why it represents the theme. There is one change in that the Junior section has no lower age limit. Photographer should be submitted by 31st December at the latest.  Please access the poster and entry form here. 

Outstanding Preschool, Breakfast and After school club fees

May I please remind families that requested sessions are added to your accounts at the beginning of each half term. Fees are required to be paid at the beginning of each month or at the beginning of each half term. Adhoc sessions are added to your accounts as soon as requested, these sessions require immediate payment.  

After checking accounts recently, there seems to be a few that are still outstanding.  Please can payment be made before Wednesday 20^th July so the Accounts team have time to process payments before the end of this academic year

Many thanks for your cooperation and understanding

If you would like to book sessions for the new academic year, then please email EYandP@swavesey.cambs.sch.uk

Happy holidays to all the families that attend our EY and P Centre.
