St Swithuns

Head’s Welcome | About | St Swithun’s School, Winchester We encourage our students to feel the fear and do it anyway in taking part in the fire walk and to feel a real sense of belonging as they watch and cheer our staff in the Masked Singer. Above our front door are the words caritas, humilitas and sinceritas, qualities associated with Saint Swithun himself.

If we can equip our students to be kind, quietly self-confident and honest, we know that will take them far. We also know that if we believe the best of our students and teach them the right skills and behaviours they are all capable of high performance, hence our membership of the High Performance Learning Fellowship of World Class schools.

We deliberately teach skills and behaviours such as being risk-taking, enquiring and concerned for society, and the ability to be precise, self-regulating and original. We see the results in everything that our students do whether in the classroom, on stage, on the sports field or in the community.
