Family Support Drop in Session, 9.00-11.30 am
2026-03-17
Reception, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4, Year 5, Year 6
Family Support Drop‑In Session – Tuesday 17th March, 9.00–11.30 am

The first half‑termly drop‑in with Gary Kirkwood will be held on Tuesday 17th March.
Support is available for families needing help with wellbeing, home life, or similar concerns.
Individual appointments can also be arranged.
To book a meeting email office@swanlandschool.co.uk.

*******************************************************************************************************
We now have a dedicated Family Help School & Community Practitioner assigned to our school—Gary Kirkwood—who is available to offer support, advice, and guidance to families who may need additional help. These sessions act as the first point of contact for signposting families to appropriate services and should be used before initiating an Early Help referral, as Gary can direct families to a range of support options, including Early Help where necessary.
This process also enables Front Door Services to direct parents to our pre‑arranged drop‑in sessions when they enquire about support but do not require a full referral.
This drop‑in opportunity is the first step prior to making an Early Help referral.
We will be offering half‑termly drop‑in sessions, with the first session taking place on Tuesday 17th March between 9.00 am and 11.30 am. If you or a family require support with home life, wellbeing, or similar concerns, we can also arrange individual appointments with Gary as needed.
These are relaxed, informal drop‑in sessions designed to make accessing support as easy as possible.
In addition, Gary will be holding a Coffee and Chat session on Thursday 26th March, 9.10 am–10.15 am.
If you are interested in booking a meeting or attending the Coffee and Chat session, please email: office@swanlandschool.co.uk.

Rock Your Socks (in support of World Down Sydrome Day)
2026-03-19
Reception, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4, Year 5, Year 6
Change of date from Friday 20th March to Thursday 19th March.
This year to support World Down Syndrome Day, we are inviting all pupils to take part in “Rock Your Socks” on Friday 20th March.
Rocking your socks is a fun and child-friendly way to start conversations about difference, inclusion and celebrating what makes each of us unique. By wearing bright, colourful, and mismatched socks, pupils and staff can show their support in a simple, visible and meaningful way.
Children are welcome to come to school wearing mismatched socks on the day – the more colourful and mismatched, the better! Families may choose to purchase official socks (click here), but any fun socks are absolutely fine.
We would also be grateful for any voluntary cash donations, which will go directly to Downright Special, a charity that provides invaluable support to children with Down Syndrome and to our school community.
Thank you for helping us celebrate this important day.
