St. Swithun Wells Catholic Primary School

As disciples of Jesus, we grow in friendship and in our love of learning, and we seek to care for others.

“I have called you by your name. You are mine.” Isaiah 43:1

Do you have a child who is starting school in September 2025?

We are a warm, welcoming school community where all we do is based on the Gospel values and prayer is a key part of our day.

As we are a small school with one class per year group, our children enjoy a caring environment where each child is known by name, every success is celebrated and each challenge is supported and overcome.

Our school community is wonderfully diverse, as Ofsted said we are ‘like a window on the world’ as our families come from many different countries and speak over 20 different languages. This is celebrated and we have been awarded a Gold award for the provision we have to help our children learn English. We warmly welcome children of all faiths and backgrounds.

Alongside our academic successes, we feel that music is a very important aspect of life and worship and we give our children many opportunities to develop musical proficiency. In addition to curriculum music, we offer lessons in a range of instruments including vocal coaching. We have a school choir which visits many care homes and businesses in the local area frequently.

If we sound like we might be the right school for your child, please get in touch.
