Independent girls school St Swithun s has become accredited as a High Performance Learning World Class School. The award recognises schools at the forefront of educational thinking with exceptional outcomes for students. St Swithun’s now joins an elite global community of schools from Dubai to Mexico who routinely share practice and support each other. Professor Deborah Eyre, chair of accreditation body High Performance Learning, said: “Truly world-class schools understand that while grades are important, producing students who are intellectually and socially confident, work-place and life-ready with a global outlook and concern for others is our true aim. St Swithun’s has worked hard to strengthen its practice and to move closer to the vision of every child becoming a high performer.”
