About Old Swinford Hospital
Old Swinford Hospital is a voluntary-aided state boarding, aged 11 - 18 years.
We are a Church of England school and pleased to welcome children of any faith or, indeed, none at all. We want the very best for all of them because we believe that they all have exciting potential and an important contribution to make.
The School has a long history. It was founded under the name Stourbridge Hospital by industrialist Thomas Foley in 1667, in order to teach boys the skills and attributes to become responsible citizens – an aim that still applies in the 21st century.
Headmaster
Paul Kilbride
Values and vision
Old Swinford’s message to its pupils is “Discover who you can be”. It encourages students to embrace themselves as individuals and develop their own strengths. The school atmosphere is diverse and tolerant, welcoming children of all faiths and none to contribute to its happy and vibrant environment.
