What the school inspection says

Date of report
2019
Verdict *
Good
“This is a thriving school. Pupils are proud to be part of it. They talk enthusiastically about the ‘SWGS family’ ... Senior leaders expect high academic standards, but they place emphasis on pupils’ personal development as well ... Students study a wide variety of subjects in the sixth form: 26 A-level courses are available ... Teaching helps pupils explore many moral and social issues. Pupils throw themselves wholeheartedly into a wide range of charity work … A high proportion of sixth-form students secure places at prestigious universities each year. However, leaders have not yet established a comprehensive plan to develop careers education further.“
