The Parish Council accounts need to be audited by external auditors and as such a simple audit document needs completion and is to be checked by an ‘internal’ auditor. This has now been done and the relevant papers will be sent to Grant Thornton (Auditors) in due course.
The financial page of the document can be seen below. The full details of the accounts for this financial year can be viewed by the public and details on how this can be arranged will be published here in May. The financial statement can be found in Swainswick PC Accounts

Swainswick School – News item
Swainswick School – News
Louise Cripps, our school’s Head teacher has decided to leave her post of Head teacher from the end of July. She has enjoyed her time at the school but the reduction in the amount of time she can spend teaching means that she will be seeking to do more teaching elsewhere. There will be a farewell assembly for all those connected with the school to show appreciation of her significant contribution to developing the Swainswick Way for the school and to wish her well in the future. Details of this are still to be decided.
