Welcome to Swindon Academy Secondary

Swindon Academy Secondary 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 flourishes both personally and academically, giving them the very best opportunity to lead a successful and fulfilling life.

Our school is founded on the principles of high expectations, aspiration and belonging. We encourage every student to Dare to Dream: to believe in their potential, explore their future career aspirations with confidence, and understand that our values of Hard Work, Kindness and Responsibility are the foundations of success.

Character development lies at the heart of everything we do, and we are honoured to have been awarded the Character Kitemark in 2026 in recognition of our commitment to developing young people of strong character. Through meaningful daily interactions, student leadership opportunities, enrichment activities and a highly effective pastoral system, we help our students develop grit, resilience, compassion, integrity and a sense of duty.

We are proud to be one of the highest-performing schools in Swindon, with GCSE outcomes consistently above the national average. These achievements reflect the determination and commitment of our students, the dedication and expertise of our staff, and the unwavering support of our parents and carers.

Our ambition extends beyond academic success. We strive to nurture responsible, respectful and characterful young people who make positive contributions to their local community and to wider society. We want every student to leave Swindon Academy not only with excellent qualifications, but also with the personal qualities and values needed to thrive in life.
