Profile
Welcome
Every girl is expected to work to the best of her ability, and is offered a broad and balanced school curriculum which will form the basis for later choices. Visitors to Swakeleys comment on our good discipline and pleasant working atmosphere. We operate a 2 year Key Stage 3, which provides girls with 3 years working towards their GCSE qualifications.
About Us
Our single sex environment provides us with a unique opportunity to promote enjoyment of learning and celebration of achievement in an uninhibited way. We offer girls an up-to-date curriculum which provides the opportunity for all of them to achieve the best academic results they are capable of. This is exemplified by our choice of the new ‘Science for the 21st Century’ GCSE. Our focus on high quality teaching and learning helps us to ensure that lessons are engaging, interactive and fun. Teachers challenge pupils to achieve aspirational levels and grades which are based on their potential. They use modern technology as a tool for learning and they adapt their teaching to meet the needs of all pupils, from those who are exceptionally able to those with learning difficulties.
We take pride in our high standards of behaviour and our behaviour policy can be viewed here:
