Issue 1118: 17th April 2026

I hope you all had an enjoyable Easter break and were able to spend some quality time with family and friends.

It is hard to believe we are already in the Summer term and approaching the busy external examination period. With the first exams taking place next week, I would like to wish all of our Year 11 pupils and Year 13 students the very best of luck. We hope their hard work is rewarded with successful outcomes that help open the door to the next stage of their journey.

As exams begin, I would also like to remind you that schools have not been permitted to grant “study leave” for several years. This means pupils are expected to attend school as normal, joining lessons and/or revision sessions when they are not in an exam. Thank you in advance for your continued support with this.

As you know we have, this week, started the phased introduction of our new mobile phone policy.  All pupils in the main-school, who choose to bring their phones into school, are now required to put them in their lockers before the start of the school day.

All lockers are covered by our CCTV cameras to ensure security.  If there is a problem with your child’s locker then please do contact Pupil Services via pupilservices@sweynepark.com who will be very happy to assist.  Thank you for your ongoing support with this.
