Money is very tight in all schools currently and one of the challenges for us is to fund developmental work in IT. We currently have the opportunity to work with a company to supply IPads to the school with an initial trial in Years 1 and 5. We hope this event will help us raise money so that we can invest in the infrastructure needed to extend this across the school and also benefit from developmental input from external experts to get the most from this technology in an educational setting.

Staff, Governors, parents/ carers and friends of Swiss Gardens will meet at 6.30 am to walk 8 miles from Sea Lane Cafe in Goring along the Seafront to Shoreham ending at the school. The first part of the walk will be for adults only and we will collect the children of Swiss Gardens along the way. Stops will be at Worthing Pier at 7.15, Lancing Green (near the Perch) at 7.45 at which point children from Year 2 and up accompanied by parents can join, and finally Shoreham Beach Green at 8.30 where Reception and Year 1 can join in for the final leg arriving at school for 9am to start the school day.
