• Year 5 Pupils Rise to the Cyber Challenge

  Fri 11 Jul 2025

  Year 5 recently took part in a Cyber Challenge organised by the Beds, Bucks and Northants branch of the British Computer Society.

   

  For the Year 5 category, the pupils had to use their coding skills to create an online safety resource. We had a wonderful selection of quizzes, games and even animations accompanied by raps!

   

  Three of the successful entrants were invited to a prize presentation at Cranfield University on Thursday. This was a wonderful opportunity to share what we had come up with as well as see what other schools had created and get some inspiration for any future coding endeavours.

   

  We were also able to look around one of the aircraft that the university uses as part of their Digital Aviation Laboratories.

   

  All of Year 5 had worked incredibly hard and the quiz produced and coded by Alex, Ishantha and Oliver came 3rd overall in the Year 5 category. Well done everyone!

  

• Our School Receives Recognition for Leadership in Education!

  Fri 11 Jul 2025

  On Wednesday 2nd July, members of the Three Schools Senior Leadership Team attended the Buckinghamshire School Awards at the Wycombe Swan Theatre.

  
  We were nominated for the 'Senior Leadership Team of the Year Award'. After successfully advancing through two rounds of rigorous judging, the SLT were informed we were one of three finalists in the Senior Leadership Team of the Year Award category.

  
  In the third year of the Buckinghamshire School Awards, judges received over 200 nominations from across the county, so it is an outstanding achievement for our nomination to reach the finals.

   

  The keen interest in the awards recognises the unwavering dedication and hard work of school staff and governors across our county. During the celebration event all finalists were celebrated, and the winner in each category was announced.

  
  Well done and thank you to all pupils, parents, staff and governors of the Three Schools, this nomination acknowledges the devotion, hard work and commitment from our amazing team that makes the Three Schools the successes they continue to be.

  

• Youngsters take their first swing at cricket

  Fri 11 Jul 2025

  The children at Swanbourne recently had the chance to try out cricket, which for many of them was a first.
  Following an introductory assembly, each class spent an hour with Emily, a cricket development coach for Bucks Cricket. She led them through a series of different activities that used batting, bowling and fielding skills.
  The children loved the experience, with many asking where they could go to play more cricket. 

  Thanks to the staff for adjusting their timetables to fit in this opportunity. All we need now is to go and collect all of the balls that were hit over the fence!!!
