Dear Parent/Carer
I am writing to let you know that there is an intended strike by the NEU which will affect Swanmore College on the following days:
· 02 March 2023
· 15 March 2023
· 16 March 2023
Currently, we have no idea how many staff will be participating in the strike, nor are they obliged to inform us in advance. However, based on the numbers of staff who chose to strike on the previous occasion, we anticipate that we can safely invite Year 7 and Year 11 pupils on site on 2 March 2023 only.
Dear Parent/Carer
You will be delighted to know that we are able to welcome all pupils back to Swanmore College from tomorrow morning.
The buses will be running, there is heating, hot water and food will be provided as usual. All pupils should be wearing full Swanmore College uniform.
Thank you again for your patience and understanding.
Kind regards

Dear Parent/Carer
Update
The college will be closed for most pupils on Thursday and Friday this week and Monday next week. There continues to be a problem with the gas supply to the College. Work to repair this has commenced but is complex and requires a new supply to our gas meter. This involves groundworks at the front of the college. We have been advised by the local authority that this work should be completed by the end of the day on Monday.
Thursday 2 & Friday 3 February 2023
All of Year 11 and a small number of invited pupils are returning to site. This will give all Year 11 pupils the opportunity to continue with their remaining scheduled mock examinations. A copy of the letter which was sent to Year 11 is outlined below.
· We ask that all pupils/staff enter via the Community Entrance as the area around Visitor Reception is cordoned off and out of bounds. No visitors are permitted on site at present. Pupils will be instructed where to go on arrival.
· Pupils are permitted to wear warm and comfortable clothes.
· Year 11 pupils should remember to bring all their equipment with them including a calculator and ruler please. If any Year 11 pupil does not attend their exam, this will have to be recorded as an absence and there will be no opportunity to sit the exam at a later date.
· There will be sufficient heated rooms, food and toilets for those pupils on site.
· Buses to and from the college will be running as usual.
Year 7 to Year 10
These pupils will continue to receive live lessons at home. The only exception to this is where certain teachers have been redeployed to work with Year 11 or there is a staff absence. In these cases, cover work will be provided. Please ask your child to check their Google classroom each period for any work which has been set.
Monday 6 February 2023
The examinations for Year 11 on this date are PE, Sociology and Music. More information about the arrangements for Monday will be sent later this week.
Once again, we apologise for the inconvenience and wish to reassure you that we are working as hard as possible with the local authority and the gas engineers to resolve the situation.
Kind regards
