About Swanlea School

Swanlea School photo

We are an OFSTED outstanding school with a culture of high expectations based on our Swanlea Values. In Tower Hamlets, we are the top performing mixed school for progress at KS4, for all students’ progress at KS5 and our attendance and punctuality is amongst the best in the country. Most of our students progress on to top universities including Oxford and Cambridge. Despite our successes, we are not complacent, and we believe that we have the capacity to further improve.

We are an over-subscribed school that has around 1300 children from Year 7 through to Year 13. Our students are proud of their school, and we have extremely supportive parents/carers and governors. We are highly committed to the development of all colleagues as evident in our comprehensive CPD programme.

Swanlea School is in one of the most deprived areas in the UK; almost 50% of our students receive the Pupil Premium. Our students may come from disadvantaged backgrounds, but they do not lack ambition for their futures, and neither do we as reflected in our no excuses culture. Our highly motivated and hard-working staff are driven by the moral imperative that our young people can achieve highly. We welcome students from all backgrounds. The school is inspired by the diversity and strength of its community, an inclusive approach to learning, excellence in education and varied, innovative approaches to teaching and learning.

Commitment to safeguarding

The procedures within our Child Protection Policy apply to all staff, volunteers, visitors and governors. All procedures are written in accordance with Keeping Children Safe in Education 2022.
