Young Carers Non-Uniform Day – Wednesday 12 March 2025

We would like to remind you that tomorrow, Wednesday 12 March is Young Carers Action Day, and we have decided to support the charity Winchester Young Carers by hosting a non-uniform day at Swanmore College. Pupils can wear their own clothes in exchange for a donation of £1, payable via Scopay or by bringing cash to tutor in the morning. Please note that pupils must dress appropriately i.e.

• No short shorts, skirts or dresses
• No low cut or strappy tops
• No crop tops
• Please wear sensible shoes (no sandals or heels)

Please see the links below for information on the charity and the great work they do in supporting young people. Thank you for your support!

Money Machines

The machine in the Swan Café, which accepts notes, is out of order. Pupils will need to bring coins to top up their Swan Café accounts, or this will need to be done online via Scopay please. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

Pottery Enrichment – Unclaimed Work (Summer/Autumn)

Summer 2024 (claim before Easter break) – we still have two crates of unclaimed work from pupils who did the pottery enrichment activity in the summer term 2024 (please see the image attached). If any of this is not claimed by the end of term, it will be disposed of.

Autumn 2025 (claim before May half term) – we had issues with the kiln, so there is a lot of unclaimed work. All of it is fired to ‘bisqueware’ and a few smaller items were glazed. These can either be collected as they are and taken home to decorate, or you can speak to Miss Massey to choose a glaze colour and arrange for it to be painted and fired.
