Community Projects

Swaffield School is proud to be an integral part of the local community and we play a key and active role in the local area. We bring communities together and ensuring our school life is a true reflection of the Wandsworth community within which we are based. 

We celebrate diversity and promote a positive culture where everyone can thrive and feel proud of who they are. An integral part of this is a wide programme of activities such as events, trips, guest speakers, and special assemblies throughout the academic year which help our pupils learn and understand more about different cultures and backgrounds from both our school community, the local community and the wider country and world in which we live. 

Throughout the academic year, we organise a number of events and activities for the children to enjoy and learn from. These include: 

Black History Month

This year, the children enjoyed a really interesting Black History Month led by our subject leader for History, Ms Lee. Please take a look at our special newsletter containing details. 

Cultural and Religious Celebrations

Remembrance Day - we held a whole school minute's silence to mark Remembrance Day. This was led by one of our Year 6 children, a gifted musician, who began and ended the minute by playing The Last Post on trumpet. 

Examples of celebrations we share are: Easter, Christmas, Chinese New Year, Diwali, Ramadan and Eid. We have recently welcomed speakers from a local church and a local mosque to share assemblies with us. In addition, some of our year groups take part in the Wimbledon Faith Trail and the Southfields Faith Trail.

Family Events

Sponsored events and Collections for charities and those less fortunate than ourselves. For example: School Council's recent Big Read across the whole school raised money for Lia's Wings and CentrePoint as well as money for books for each classroom.

International Food Stay & Play, organised with the support of our school community and PTA
This end of school year event is organised by our PTA and invites parents to contribute food which represents their culture and heritage to be enjoyed by all in an afternoon of international fun and play.
Date for your diary: the next one will be on Friday 18th July 2025

Around The World Day

Swaffield is culturally rich and Around the World Day is a celebration of this fabulous diversity.

At our last Around the World Day parents were invited to host a stall to represent a country with which they have a connection. 

Children were asked to dress up to represent their chosen country and will spend the day visiting our country stalls and exploring the different cultures that form our school community. Visit our Geography page to see some of the pictures.
