The Swedish School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 6 June 2023

Pupils enjoy being part of the community at this small and friendly school. They develop very positive and professional relationships with each other and their teachers. Pupils are motivated by leaders' and teachers' high expectations for every pupil to learn a high-quality curriculum and receive the individual support they need to be successful. Pupils achieve highly. Pupils are polite and welcoming. Students on the sixth-form exchange programme settle in rapidly. Students typically commented that the school feels like 'a second home'. Pupils are safe in school. They rapidly develop a mature outlook and respect the school's code of conduct. They are considerate towards others. Pupils appreciate taking on responsibilities. Older pupils are keen to have the opportunity to read to younger pupils. Pupils of all ages mix together amiably. This is exemplified in the spring performance in which everyone has an important role to play, on stage or behind the scenes. Sixth-form students take responsibility for organising social events, including celebrations of Swedish festivals. Leaders make extensive use of the resources and opportunities that London has to offer to support pupils' learning of the curriculum. Leaders organise educational visits to museums and galleries regularly. There is a range of clubs for pupils to access after school.
