"A Home Away from Home"

My child has been at St Swithun's for 3 years now and I couldn't be happier with their progress. The school's focus on British Values and Catholic Life has really rubbed off on them. The facilities are excellent and the teachers are always available to support us.

"Fantastic School Experience"

We've been part of the St Swithun's community for 2 years and it's been an absolute joy. My child loves the school's Mini International Days and the PE/Games Schedule is fantastic. The teachers are all so dedicated and passionate about their work.

"A Good but Not Great Experience"

I have mixed feelings about our time at St Swithun's. The school's wraparound care was really helpful but the homework was sometimes a bit too much. The teachers were mostly great but there were a few who didn't quite live up to expectations.
