Swindon Academy Secondary: A School of Character and Excellence

Swindon Academy is proud to be a School of Character and Excellence, where Every Student is supported to grow into a confident, capable, and compassionate individual. It is our collective mission to ensure that every pupil can flourish personally and academically, so they have the best chance to live their best life.

Our school is built on the principles of high-expectations, aspiration, and belonging. We encourage every student to dare to dream—to explore their career aspirations with confidence, and to understand that our values of Hard Work, Kindness, and Responsibility are the key to success.

Character development is central to our ethos. Through daily conversations, leadership opportunities, enrichment activities, and a strong pastoral system, we help students grow in grit, stamina, compassion, integrity, and duty. Our aim is not only to build strong learners, but to nurture responsible, respectful, and characterful young people who contribute positively to both the local community and wider society.

We are proud to be an OFSTED Good school and in the top performing schools for GCSE progress in the town and one of the highest for attaining—a reflection of our students’ determination, our staff’s dedication, and the unwavering support of our parents and carers.
