Home – School Communication: Day to day communication between the home and class teacher is through the ‘home-school communication book’. Please continue to use this. Teachers and the class team are preparing the day’s learning activities from 8:30-9:30 and teaching from 9:30-3:30. The teacher is able to pick up phone call messages and emails from the school day at 3:45-4:00pm. If you email after school hours (4:30pm to 8:30am) it will be picked up by the class teacher at 3:45pm the next day. We also communicate with you through a weekly newsletter. This is sent via email, text, and through the school website.

2024-2025 Term Dates: The school term dates for 2024-2025 are confirmed and located here: www.swisscottage.camden.sch.uk/parents/termdates

Wishing all of our families an enjoyable weekend.

Yours Sincerely,
