"We have a vibrant and supportive environment at Swaffham where both students and staff are encouraged to grow and excel. There is a deep sense of community and collaboration amongst all stakeholders, making every day fulfilling and rewarding.”
Our Swaffham campus is a warm and vibrant school where students, staff and stakeholders aspire to be the best they can be. Occupying around two and a half acres at the northern point of the Breck, our 86 students and 20 staff members enjoy a campus with modern facilities, strong pastoral care, and a focus on academic excellence.
Opening in 2005, the campus enjoyed a major upgrade in 2008 with a complete refurbishment of the existing buildings and construction of a new gym and senior teaching block. In 2012, a new block was added to further improve facilities. And in 2019, a learning centre and primary learning centre, were built, providing modern learning facilities for our students and teachers alike.
There is a strong, student-led culture for fundraising and charity at Swaffham, with an active Student Leadership Team who come up with ideas for school-wide events. Not only does each initiative raise hundreds of pounds for charity, but it also gives students valuable experience in organisation and leadership.
