About Swanshurst School

Swanshurst is a highly successful, oversubscribed school for girls aged 11-19 years. We are very large school with almost 2000 pupils on roll and this provides an incredibly stimulating environment for a diverse range of professionals who enjoy their work and enjoy making a difference.

Ofsted recently judged our school to be Outstanding for the second time. This achievement is not only something all members of our community are proud of, but it is a testament to our philosophy. Simply, we believe that the most important resource for our pupils is a staff body that are highly effective – great staff who can work at their very best every day provide the best education, support and care for pupils and families.

At Swanshurst, outstanding relationships and the highest expectations are at the core of everything we do. We are only satisfied when we have ‘achieved excellence’ for all.

To achieve this commitment to our community, we ensure that:

Pupil behaviour is exceptionally strong
The culture in our school is positive, constructive, encouraging and aspirational
Systems are simple, clear and consistently followed in all areas
Everyone’s CPD and professional growth is tailored and personalised
Feedback is a two-way process, and must always develop us
We only do things that efficiently make a difference
Having a work-life balance is key to success
