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

Year11Absence@swanmore-sec.hants.sch.uk

 


Signing In & Out

A reminder that pupils need to sign in and out via Pupil Reception when they are attending appointments or leaving the site during the normal college day. Parents/Carers need to report to Visitor Reception when collecting children during the day before we can sign them out. We have also had several pupils returning to site without signing back in and this is a safeguarding concern which causes anomalies with attendance registers. We would appreciate your support in reminding pupils to do this when you drop them off or pick them up.

 

Drug Education UK

DRED UK will be coming to Swanmore College on Thursday 30 November 2023 to raise awareness of the risks and prevalence of misuse, including key information about drugs, alcohol, solvents, tobacco and vaping. They will deliver presentations to all our pupils throughout the day and will also provide a talk to parents/carers that evening at 5.30 pm in the main hall.  If you would like to attend the evening presentation by the DRED team on 30.11.23, could you please fill out the attendance form via this link: https://forms.gle/ZM4yY4wNCMtCFBWSA

 

Iceland Trip Meeting

Reminder that there is a meeting on Monday 27 November 2023 from 6pm to 7pm in the main hall for parents/carers of pupils going on the Iceland Trip in April 2024. This meeting will provide information regarding rooms, food, travel, and packing. Please remember to bring passports with you.
