Mobile Phones

I wanted to take the opportunity to remind you that after half-term we expect all pupils who bring their phones to school to put them in their lockers on arrival to school and collect them at the end of the day. If a pupil is found to have their phone in their possession (unless, in a very small and specific set of circumstances, this has been pre-approved), it will be confiscated and a centralised detention will be set. Please remember, this policy will bring us in line with the coming legal requirement to ensure that all schools are a mobile-free environment. I really do appreciate your support with this.

Updating Personal Details

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.

Coming Soon.....

The second half of this term is going to incredibly busy with a number of exciting events planned. I thought it would be helpful to have a list of upcoming trips and visits for your diary. As ever, more details for each event will be shared nearer the time.

Mollie football achievements

After winning JPL Warrioirs football league, and regional playoff games against NLS and then Lincoln City, her team FC Evolution were invited to play at The Champions Day held in Warwick.

The mini tournament was a great way to end the season playing against some great teams.

Mollie and her team Billericay Town (Blue) won the U15 Essex League Cup Final against Buckhurst Hill, the score being 5-2.
