Ofsted And Monitoring

The Swan School’s first Ofsted Inspection was held on the 13th and 14th of September 2023.  The overall outcome of the inspection was as follows:

  • Behaviour and Attitudes – Outstanding
  • Personal Development – Outstanding
  • Leadership and Management – Outstanding
  • Sixth Form – Outstanding
  • Quality of Education – Good

 

The report praised the school’s ambitious vision, which is shared by students, parents, and staff.  It also highlighted the school’s “vibrant culture”, “consistently effective teaching”, “behaviour [that is] excellent in lessons and at social times”, and “personal development [opportunities that are] a strong and distinctive feature of the school”.  Perhaps most importantly, the report confirmed that this is a place where children are “known as individuals”, students feel  “safe, happy, and valued” and are “very proud of their school”.
