We are proud to share that 98% of SWPS students have secured a place at their chosen universities this year. This remarkable achievement reflects not only academic excellence, but the individuality, ambition, and generosity that define our students.

From Russell Group institutions to specialist courses in the Arts, Humanities, and Sciences, our leavers are heading to destinations that match their passions and potential.

At SWPS, we champion the individual. These results are a testament to the supportive, purposeful community that nurtures curiosity and confidence, preparing students to thrive beyond the classroom.

We are proud of every student who has taken this next step, and we are excited to see how they will shape the world.

This summer, we're showcasing the GCSE and A Level Art of the Class of 2025, with a new collection from last year's exhibition featured each week.

As our summer exhibition comes to a close, we celebrate a final collection of portraits that demonstrate creativity, confidence and individuality.

Across the summer, we have had the privilege of sharing just a glimpse of the outstanding work produced by our GCSE and A Level Art students.

Congratulations to the Class of 2025 for their exceptional talent, creativity and dedication.
