At Old Swinford Hospital, we aim to provide an outstanding education, both within and beyond the classroom, which enables all of our students to realise and exceed their potential.
Above all, we aim to provide a uniquely stimulating and supportive environment in which all individuals flourish, grow in understanding, self-confidence and self-esteem, and are fully equipped to meet the challenges and demands of life beyond school.
Our vision for each and every student is one in which they can discover who they can be and where:
- Children and young people come first.
- We, and our students, have high aspirations and expectations.
- Our community has strong and shared values.
- They develop and grow with desired qualities.
- Our students are prepared for their future lives.
