In April 2024, OFSTED graded Swanlea as outstanding in all categories for the third time in a row. Prior to this in July 2015, we were awarded Teaching School status as part of our journey to achieving excellence and we continue to strive to deliver outstanding outcomes across all key stages and subject areas.

At Swanlea School, our mission is to be exceptional in Teaching, Leading, and Learning. Our mission focuses on developing well-rounded individuals who are equipped for success in a diverse world. Our core values at Swanlea School are to Respect, Aspire, and Achieve.
At Swanlea, we aim to:
- Cultivate socially confident, responsible, resilient, and independent learners.
- Create respectful, empathetic, and active citizens who value the principles of democracy, liberty, and the rule of law within British society.
- Develop young people who are highly numerate, literate, and articulate, instilling in them a lifelong love of learning.
- Promote cultural capital and celebrate diversity, fostering an understanding and appreciation of differences among individuals.
- Nurture aspiration and ambition, challenging all students to reach their full potential and preparing them for the global workplace.
- Support student wellbeing, safety, and healthy lifestyles, helping them manage their academic, personal, and social lives effectively.
Social Confidence:
Personal Development is a process that involves the world of the young person. In this subject strand, pupils have opportunities to explore a range of topics and develop Whole Curriculum Skills and Capabilities. Pupils learn about:
- Self-Awareness
- Personal Health
- Relationships.
Personal Development encourages pupils to become personally, emotionally, socially and physically effective, and to lead healthy, safe and fulfilled lives. It also encourages them to become confident, independent and responsible citizens, making informed and responsible choices and decisions throughout their lives.
The PD programme enables all students to understand the demands and expectations of modern society outside of a domestic and academic environment. These lessons encourage students to think about their present behaviours and what they can do to make informed choices regarding safe and respectful behaviours in society, career pathways, further education, health and well-being.
Lessons address critical information creating a window for students to broaden their horizons and elevate their ambitions. Students experience a range of aged-related lessons, where they engage in discussions, pair/group work, as well as building literacy skills such as writing on demand and comprehension. These deepen their understanding of key concepts in the three strands. Consequently, pupils develop holistically and with confidence, resilience and are better informed to be active citizens in British society.
