If you do not want a picture of your child for any reason, please let your child's teacher or room leader know.
Sibling / Group / family pictures.
Due to the logistics, it is not possible to offer sibling pictures on the main picture day. As with previous years we will be offering a drop-in Friday session for sibling, blended families/ friendship groups etc. that will be open to non SWPS (former pupils or younger siblings)

We have recently been aware of some concerning content appearing on ‘X’ (formerly Twitter) and although this content is not coming from our school ‘X’ account it is difficult to navigate to our page without being confronted with distressing and highly inappropriate content on other user accounts. This does not align with our school values and unfortunately, the recent relaxation of rules regarding the content that is allowed to appear on ‘X’ makes it difficult for us, as a school, to manage this. For this reason, we will be closing down our ‘X’ account from 24/10/24.
Many thanks
Team SWPS
