Letter from Head

It gives me great pleasure to introduce myself, Darren Warner-Swann, as the new Head of School at Peacehaven Community School.

Some of you may already know me; I was part of the team that established the school in 2001 and most recently working as Deputy Head Teacher until I left 3 years ago. I am very keen to get to know parents and carers, as well as the students and staff, and re-establish the positive links I had made. From my experience of work in a variety of schools, we can ensure that all students enjoy their time at school and make excellent progress if we all work together.

I am pleased to say that PCS is now a member of Swale Academies Trust and will benefit fully from wide ranging expertise and enhanced resources available to the staff and students.

The Leadership of PCS has been strengthened with the inclusion of Liza Leung as Executive Headteacher. Both Liza and I have successfully worked together as part of a school improvement team for the past 5 years and our aim is to take PCS from strength to strength.

Letter from the Head Teacher

We are now approaching Christmas and the end of Term 2.

Mobile phones

I would just like to send a quick reminder about the use of mobile phones in school.

Mobile electronic devices must stay at home or in lockers, this also includes headphones. If mobiles phones or headphones are seen during the school day they will be taken to the office and locked in the safe and your child will be able to collect it at the end of the day. If a student has their phone taken from them twice in a term then it will have to be collected by a parent.

If your child carries a phone for medical reasons they will be provided with a slip explaining this.

Last day of term

We will be finishing at 12.25pm on the last day of term, Wednesday 19^th December, as we have done in previous years. Food will be available for all students during the morning break.

Yours sincerely

Ms R Joseph
Head of School
