For those students that accept their 2026 offer, Primary School visits will be arranged to take place in June to discuss pastoral issues. Our feeder primaries will host English or Science lessons from a SWCHS member of staff.
Smaller Primaries or those students where they are the only student heading to SWCHS, or those with specific needs, may be invited to an additional Bridging Day to give those students an opportunity to get to know the school in smaller groups, as well as the whole cohort Transition Day.
At the end of June, an email will go out to parents containing tutor group information.
25th June is our Transition Day when students come and sample life in SWCHS ahead of September. More details will be made available nearer the time.
Also at the end of June is the Prospective Parents Evening, when the parents and carers of our 2026-2027 Year 7 cohort join the senior leadership in Saffron Hall and learn what they can expect from SWCHS.
The year colour bar for our September 2026 Year 7 cohort is SILVER and is available from Beewear, our uniform supplier in Saffron Walden.
