Weekly Roundup

This week, we have welcomed a number of visitors to Swainswick in the colder weather. On Tuesday, we held our second open Reception morning for families considering places in 2026. It was great to be able to share our learning and grounds with prospective new parents and pupils. It is brilliant showing new people around our school, and we often receive positive comments about the calm and nurturing atmosphere here at Swainswick. We also welcomed Debbie Smith, who conducted a follow up safeguarding review from our visit in March. It was great to be able to show Debbie the strong systems and processes in place at Swainswick to keep all children safe. Finally, we have had an unannounced kitchen inspection from BANES. Carla and the lunch time team do a fantastic job every day, and this has been reflected in the 5 star hygiene rating we received. A busy but great week! The children have been very busy too.
