How do we say goodbye to the living legend Miss Boon? Here’s a few ways....a leavers zoodie with all our names on, a cake made by the amazing Miss Kumar (Summerfield)
We remember our beautiful teacher Mrs Pickup today who lost her brave battle to a brain tumour 3 years ago.Her daughter Freya started full time school today at the age of 4😁🌟Our thoughts are with her family.💖❤️x x
Yesterday one of our mums came to the office having raised £725 for the Wisdom Hospice by completing a sponsored row.Touched by a child who wants to raise money in memory of his mummy she is keen not to be identified but we want her to know how kind her actions have been.
Thank you for helping us raise £1,200 for the Wisdom Hospice.Stanley wanted to thank the staff for looking after his mummy.💖 We will wear red on Friday and collect our new teddy bears.A very proud mummy is looking down from heaven.💕
In memory of my much loved daddy.💖 This photo is of the sailors on board HMS Plymouth meeting their children for the first time after returning from overseas. I was 6 months old when he first met me and I was fast asleep!!!!Miss Boon💕
We do remember them.❤️

I couldn’t be prouder or more grateful to this incredible group of Swingate staff who have dedicated their week to our phenomenal Year 5 Bude children! Nothing has been too much for them… from peeling wetsuits off children to sitting with them comforting them.

Henry in Unicorn Class entered a competition to name one of the new gritters we will see on the roads in the coming weeks. Look out for ‘Ice Ice Baby’. Henry and his class would love the gritter to come into school.😁

Congritulations Henry!
Following on from the PM announcement last night, we have looked at our procedures and from tomorrow all adults dropping off and picking up children must wear a face mask whilst on the school site. Thank you for supporting this.
The children have met their tutors, partied on down and are now all in their bedrooms safe and sound. PJs are on, teeth are cleaned… we pray for sleep 💤 😂
This amazing cake was bought by the staff of Swingate and taken to the Wisdom Hospice for the staff to have with a cup of tea. Mrs Pickup spent her last days there and the staff were/are incredible.🌟❤️

As I came into my office yesterday, I noticed I had been left a note. I later spoke with Zara and we agreed this was a lovely idea and we both saw no reason why we couldn’t make it happen! So Swingate children, if you want to, on your birthday you can wear your own clothes! 😁🎈
