HEADLINES

Uniform

As I mentioned in a recent edition of Sweyne Park Times, after the half-term break we will be addressing the length of school skirts.

Pupils have been informed of our plan and of the consequences of non-compliance.

As always, we adopt a team approach and all staff have been asked to be proactive in making our expectations explicit.听 I am hoping that pupils will respond positively and thank you in advance for your support where sanctions may be imposed.

Also, as we enter the final half-term of the academic year, we move to summer uniform, meaning that pupils no longer need to wear a jumper in classrooms or communal areas.

They are, however, still required to tuck their shirts in and wear a school tie in order to maintain high standards.

Congratulations to鈥�.

Dr Clements who was officially presented with her doctorate at a prestigious ceremony in London this week.听 Many of you will know of Dr Clements鈥� passion for research through the outstanding work she leads here at Sweyne Park through the Higher Project and Extended Project Qualifications.

Our pupils and students are indeed fortunate and could not wish for a better role model.

I am sure you will join听 me in extending congratulations to Dr Clements on this remarkable achievement.

And Finally鈥�.

Have a lovely half-term break and we will look forward to welcoming all our pupils and students back to school at the usual time of 8.35 am on Monday 3^rd June.
