If you were to ask a St Swithun’s parent why they chose us for their child, I hope they would tell you that it is because we believe a child’s education should be about discovery, a sense of adventure and a spirit of excitement and fun; that good academic success and a great deal more is achieved as a result of this ethos.
We are a non-selective independent day school and, as such, our academic success is achieved through good teaching in small groups, excellent resources and facilities, supportive parents and motivated children who enjoy coming to school.
It is the children that we are most proud of and we spend a lot of time building their self-esteem. All children have different talents and skills and my teaching staff and I are committed to finding and developing these. Success in one area leads to a boost in confidence elsewhere and this helps our pupils feel secure enough to explore and take risks
When searching for a school, I believe parents look for a number of qualities – confident and engaging pupils; staff who are dedicated to ensuring that the pupils are successful and happy; an understanding that every child is different; exceptional facilities. You will find these at St Swithun’s.
I hope that our website will give you a sense of St Swithun’s. More importantly I hope that it will encourage you to come and see for yourself what we can offer your child.
Do please contact Mrs. Sara Carrett, my PA, on 01962 835750 to make an appointment.
