    Welcome to the Early Years Foundation Stage class page

    Inspired by faith, we dare to grow, believe and achieve celebrating success together and flourishing within our community.

    Grow. Believe. Achieve.

    At St Swithun’s Primary Academy we ensure that every child feels loved, nurtured and valued. We encourage our children to learn actively through playing and exploring, allowing them to think creatively and critically across all areas of the curriculum.

    We strive to develop our children's independence, confidence and resilience giving them the very best start in life with the support needed to enable them to fulfil their full future potential and success. A rich, vibrant, positive learning environment enables us to develop a lifelong love of learning.
