Issue 1114: 6th March 2026

Further to the email we sent at the start of this week, I wanted to confirm that that we are very aware of recent reports about so-called “school wars” or the red-v-blue social media trend circulating among some young people in Essex.

I want to reassure parents and carers that we are monitoring the situation closely and remain in regular communication with other local schools. We are also liaising with the Police where appropriate to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our pupils and students.

Please rest assured that we will continue to address any concerns promptly as the safety and wellbeing of our pupils and students is always at the forefront of all that we do.

We are all very much looking forward to the upcoming performances of Beauty and the Beast next Tuesday and Wednesday.  The pupils have been working exceptionally hard and are very excited to have the opportunity to showcase all their talents.

It would be great if as many people as possible could come and show their support.  You can purchase tickets online via Scopay or, subject to availability, on the night for cash!

The cost is £8 for an individual ticket, or £25 for four people.

Doors open at 6.30pm and the performance starts at 7pm.  Good luck to everyone involved.

If you have recently changed any personal contact details including your phone numbers, postal address and/or your email, please can you let Pupil Services have this information.

This will allow us to guarantee that we have the most up-to-date details on our database, which in turn will mean that we can ensure effective communication with you on whole school matters, on an individual basis and in the case of emergency.

Please email any new contact information to us via pupilservices@sweynepark.com.
