All Pupils

Pupil Absence/Appointments
Please contact us before 8.30 am on each day of absence/appointments. Absence is a safeguarding concern. Lack of notification results in a text alert querying why your child is absent. You can phone on 01489 892256, choosing Option 1, or use the relevant email address below. Please also use these emails to report any early collections / late arrivals due to appointments:

Year7Absence@swanmore-sec.hants.sch.uk

Year8Absence@swanmore-sec.hants.sch.uk

Year9Absence@swanmore-sec.hants.sch.uk

Year10Absence@swanmore-sec.hants.sch.uk

Communications

Please note that the best way to contact staff members is via their dedicated email addresses, which can be found on the website: Contact - Swanmore College (swanmore-school.co.uk)

We aim to respond to you promptly and wherever possible, within 2 working days, with a view to action your request within 5 working days. Our phone lines are very busy and teaching staff only have voicemail extensions, so email is the best method of contact for all non-urgent queries.

 

Parking

We have been asked to remind you about careful parking when dropping and collecting your children. We would ask that you allow local residents to exit their driveways and do not park in unsafe places. Please be advised that Rule 243 of the highway code states that vehicles should not stop or park:

·          anywhere you would prevent access for Emergency Services

·          opposite or within 10 metres (32 feet) of a junction, except in an authorised parking space

·          in front of an entrance to a property

·          on a bend


To do so is to endanger the lives of our pupils, who sometimes have to walk in the middle of a busy country road to walk around the parked cars, as there is no pavement. Please consider this when choosing where to park.

 

Ghana Information Evening - Time Change

Please note that the Ghana Information Evening that is taking place on Thursday 8 February 2024 will begin at 6pm in the main hall and not at 6.30pm as previously advised. This is for any Year 7 & 8 pupils and parents/carers who are interested in finding out more about the trip we are running in July 2025.
