“Pupils learn together, live together and thrive at Old Swinford Hospital. Pupils behave well. They are polite, respectful and studious. Pupils know that staff expect them to work hard and do their best. In lessons, they listen to their teachers and work together productively and collaboratively. Pupils’ academic and wider study prepares them for life after school. … Staff place a great emphasis on school life outside the classroom. Pupils choose from the broad and varied range of activities on offer. … School leaders lead with integrity, empathy and clarity. Staff are motivated by a shared will to develop pupils into ‘the best versions of themselves’. They have high expectations for pupils academically, combined with a determination to see them grow as young adults.”
