The extreme heat this week has been hard work for everyone – today, the classrooms have gotten very hot, and whilst pupils and staff have coped well, it has been challenging for all. Staff have done their best to plan less demanding routines and have been very creative with ice and water-based activities! We are grateful to all of the staff, pupils and to their parents and families for their support, patience and flexibility during this challenging period. Over the weekend, we are forecast rain on Saturday, which we are all looking forward to! In the meantime, our wonderful announcement – that we are a top ten finalist for the World’s Best School Prize for Community Collaboration - helped to buoy spirits this week. [Here is a video](https://youtu.be/Pez7EOZi8q0) of some of the celebrations that we enjoyed early yesterday morning. We now need your votes so that Swiss wins the Community Choice award – **you can vote for us [here](https://vote.worldsbestschool.org/)**. Please do share with all of your friends and family. We are looking forward to the upcoming opportunities to come together and celebrate our collective achievement and our fabulous community in the coming weeks. **International Day – Wednesday 1 July** Families are warmly invited to **bring food to share with staff from 12.00pm–1.00pm** and/or join pupils for **activities in the playground from 1.30pm–2.50pm.** **Sports Week** For Sports Week, there are a range of activities all week. We are inviting families to join in with **your child’s regular weekly class slot with our PE specialists** (Anna, Natasha, Jay-Jade, Moli). Slots are below. ![](https://swiss-cottage-school.schudio.com/images/news/SCS_Newsletter_26.06.26_Page_1.png) **Community Day – Saturday 11 July** Please join us with your family and friends from 11.00am–2.00pm. In the meantime, don’t forget to return your raffle stubs & money if you have sold any, and do bring in any new clothing, books or toys). With best wishes, The Senior Leadership Team [Click here to download a printable version of this letter.](https://swiss-cottage-school.schudio.com/files/SCSNewsletter260626.pdf) [ Swiss Cottage School: World's Best School Prizes ](https://swiss-cottage-school.schudio.com/news/2026-06-25-swiss-cottage-school-world-s-best-school-prizes) [ SCS Newsletter 03/07/2026 ](https://swiss-cottage-school.schudio.com/news/2026-07-03-scs-newsletter-03-07-2026) ### [Latest News](https://swiss-cottage-school.schudio.com/news) [![Image of SCS Newsletter 13/11/2026](https://files.schudio.com/swiss-cottage-school/imagecache/150x150c/news/SCS-Newsletter.png)](https://swiss-cottage-school.schudio.com/news/2026-11-13-scs-newsletter-13-11-2026) #### [SCS Newsletter 13/11/2026](https://swiss-cottage-school.schudio.com/news/2026-11-13-scs-newsletter-13-11-2026) 13 November 2026 [![Image of SCS Newsletter 06/11/2026](https://files.schudio.com/swiss-cottage-school/imagecache/150x150c/news/SCS-Newsletter.png)](https://swiss-cottage-school.schudio.com/news/2026-11-06-scs-newsletter-06-11-2026) #### [SCS Newsletter 06/11/2026](https://swiss-cottage-school.schudio.com/news/2026-11-06-scs-newsletter-06-11-2026) 6 November 2026 [![Image of End of Half Term Newsletter](https://files.schudio.com/swiss-cottage-school/imagecache/150x150c/news/End_of_Half_Term_Newsletter_Banner.png)](https://swiss-cottage-school.schudio.com/news/2026-10-23-end-of-half-term-newsletter) #### [End of Half Term Newsletter](https://swiss-cottage-school.schudio.com/news/2026-10-23-end-of-half-term-newsletter) 23 October 2026 - [![OFSTED](https://files.schudio.com/swiss-cottage-school/images/menu/OFSTED_OUTSTANDING-70.png)](https://reports.ofsted.gov.uk/provider/25/100096) - [![Rights Respecting Schools](https://files.schudio.com/swiss-cottage-school/images/menu/UNICEF-70.png)](https://www.unicef.org.uk/rights-respecting-schools/) - [![Ed Tech 50](https://files.schudio.com/swiss-cottage-school/images/menu/EDTECH50-70.png)](http://www.ednfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/EDTECH-50-SCHOOLS-2019_compressed.pdf) - [![T4 Global Showcase School](https://files.schudio.com/swiss-cottage-school/images/menu/T4-WEW-70.png)](https://t4.education/) - [![Music Mark](https://files.schudio.com/swiss-cottage-school/images/menu/MUSIC-MARK-70.png)](https://www.musicmark.org.uk/) - [![Quality in Careers ](https://files.schudio.com/swiss-cottage-school/images/menu/Quality_in_Careers_Standard_70.png)](https://www.qualityincareers.org.uk/) - [![Eco Schools](https://files.schudio.com/swiss-cottage-school/images/menu/ECO-SCHOOLS-SILVER-70.png)](https://www.keepbritaintidy.org/ecoschools/) - [![Healthy Schools Silver](https://files.schudio.com/swiss-cottage-school/images/menu/Healthy_Schools_Silver_-70.png)](https://www.london.gov.uk/what-we-do/health/healthy-schools-london/awards//) - [![Quality Mark Gold](https://files.schudio.com/swiss-cottage-school/images/menu/PD-QUALITY-MARK-70.png)](http://www.lcll.org.uk/uploads/3/0/9/3/3093873/faqs_aug_12.pdf) - [![Sport England](https://files.schudio.com/swiss-cottage-school/images/menu/SPORT-ENGLAND-70.png)](https://www.sportengland.org/) - ![SIMS](https://files.schudio.com/swiss-cottage-school/images/menu/SIMS-70.png) - [![Centre of Excellence](https://files.schudio.com/swiss-cottage-school/images/menu/YE-CENTRE-70.png)](https://www.young-enterprise.org.uk/) - [![fmsis](https://files.schudio.com/swiss-cottage-school/images/menu/FMSIS-70.png)](https://www.gov.uk/topic/schools-colleges-childrens-services/school-college-funding-finance) - ![TIPiC](https://files.schudio.com/swiss-cottage-school/images/menu/TIPiC_70.png) - [![DFE](https://files.schudio.com/swiss-cottage-school/images/menu/DfE-70.png)](https://www.compare-school-performance.service.gov.uk/) ### Contact Us **Swiss Cottage School** 80 Avenue Road London NW8 6HX Tel: 020 7681 8080 (8am-4:15pm) ### Useful Links - [Term Dates](https://swiss-cottage-school.schudio.com/parents/termdates) - [SCS Charity](https://swiss-cottage-school.schudio.com/support-us/fundraising) - [Card & Design Shop](https://employme-card-design.myshopify.com/) - [Privacy Notice](https://swiss-cottage-school.schudio.com/files/documents/policies/Privacy_Notice_Swiss_Cottage_School_Organisation_21-22.pdf) - [X](https://twitter.com/swisscottagesch) © Copyright 2020–2026 Swiss Cottage School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://swiss-cottage-school.schudio.com/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
