"Great Academic but Room for Improvement"
Overall, I am pleased with the academic standards at St Swithun's, but I do feel that there could be more emphasis on extracurricular activities. My daughter has struggled to find her place outside of school, which has been a concern for me. That being said, the staff are responsive to concerns and the facilities are excellent.
