NEW BEGINNINGS START HERE
Whilst all our students share a love of learning and a keen academic curiosity, every individual is supported to pursue their passions.
We seek to champion the individual and build confidence, integrity, and excellence. Our holistic education promotes innovation and creativity both inside and outside the classroom. Our values of curiosity, ambition and generosity enable our students to go beyond academic success, leaving the school with a conscience and world-ready.
A Levels, leadership and preparations for life beyond SWPS… these two years are an exciting time and the pinnacle of everything you’ve worked for, whether you’re moving up from our Year 11 or joining us from another school.

All candidates will have an academic interview. We welcome students from a large number of locals schools, both maintained and independent. We are delighted to announce that SWPS will open its doors to boys from September 2026, subject to regulatory approval from the DfE.
