St Swithun’s School

Alresford Road, Winchester, Hampshire, SO21 1HA

St Swithun’s School is a renowned independent day, weekly and fullboarding school for girls set in 45 acres overlooking the Hampshire Downs in Winchester, yet only 55 minutes by train from central London.

As a High Performance Learning school St Swithun’s has a long-standing reputation for academic rigour and success alongside outstanding pastoral care.

Girls are prepared for public examinations and higher education in a stimulating environment in which they develop intellectual curiosity, independence of mind and the ability to take responsibility for their own learning.

They achieve almost one grade higher at GCSE than our already significant baseline ability would suggest, and approximately half a grade higher at A level.

Whilst achieving academic excellence, girls also have the opportunity to do ‘something else’. There is an extensive cocurricular programme of 140 weekly and 20 weekend activities to choose from.

Their award-winning pastoral programme means that by the time a girl leaves she will be courageous, compassionate, a moral compass and a sense of humour.
