“The school aims that, by the time a girl leaves St Swithun’s, she will be well-educated, courageous, compassionate, committed and self-confident with a love of learning, a moral compass and a sense of humour. Pupils enjoy considerable success in academic examinations, as well as in external accredited examinations in music and in a range of local and national competitions. They are enthusiastic and often passionate learners. They have great pride in their school. Pupils are excellent citizens within their own community and have developed a considerable capacity to make a positive contribution to the wider world … The diversity of the school community, including boarders from overseas, helps pupils to regard mutual respect as a very natural part of their life in the school.” There was a regulatory compliance visit in 2020 and a routine inspection in 2024.
