Swanbourne House School

"I only wish that school had been as much fun when I was a child, everything from work to relationships with staff has changed out of all recognition, and learning is clearly fun now. It is wonderful to know that the children are in the right school with right thinking staff, allowing them to play in the snow and not being over protective. What else are dining room trays for in the snow? The surf boards and kayaks were a stroke of genius!" Mrs Meynell (Parent)

"I can only say that my three chidren (Benedict, Stephanie and Pippa) absolutely love it at Swanbourne and all three of them seem to be thriving there. I have never known children to actually look forward to the end of the school holidays before! I have nothing but praise for the school and the way that it is run.” Mr Evans (Parent) 

“Daniel spent nine very happy years at Swanbourne House and we have never been in any doubt that we made the right choice. The values and ethos of the School have mirrored our own and have produced in Daniel what we believe is a confident, competent, caring and socially responsible child, well equipped to face the challenges of his senior school thanks to the breadth of academic, sporting and social education which he has received from you and all the staff with whom he came into contact, from Nursery until today.” Mr and Mrs Murray (Parents)

“Since our first visit over thirteen years ago, until Nathan’s final day today, time has passed in a haze of journeys to and fro to plays, concerts, matches, parties, excursions and the exams for good measure. Given our time again, we would have no hesitation in repeating the experience. We have truly felt part of a community and believe in the education our whole family has derived from the experience. Not all things have gone as planned, however we have arrived at the end of this stage without complaint. I hope you will be kind enough to pass our best wishes to all of the staff. ” Mr. and Mrs. C Ball (Parents)

“Our family has had some immensely happy times at the School, and we move on in life with mixed feelings. We are sad to be leaving Swanbourne and its staff with whom we have built up tremendous rapport. We would like to thank you for giving Holly and Julian the very best start to their education, and for helping to make them the confident youngsters they are today. We think they will reflect on their time at Swanbourne, from Nursery to Top Year, as one of great stability and solid foundation to their lives. The School and its homely environment have certainly underpinned their childhood happiness.” Mr. and Mrs. S. Beazley (Parents)

“We feel that Marnie has gained considerably from her time at Swanbourne. She has been quite a shy and retiring child. However this has been allowed to recede, due in no small part to the opportunities to participate, not only in the classroom but also on the sports field. She has been encouraged to come out of herself. It is a great credit to the school that two very different children, such as Rosie and Marnie should have had such positive experience at Swanbourne. In conclusion, I would like to reiterate my heartfelt thanks to all of the staff at Swanbourne who have made the school years of both of my daughters extremely happy, fruitful and rewarding.” Mrs. S. Fitzpatrick (Parent)

“A huge and heart-felt thank you for ten extremely happy years of ‘Swanbourne life’ and for all the genuine support and kindness you have shown towards us as a family during our time with you.” Mr. and Mrs. I Smith (Parents)

“Thank you for everything you have done for the family over the last nine years. It has been a real pleasure to have seen the positive impact Swanbourne has had on our children. Swanbourne has really been a home from home for Edward. When we moved to China, of course we were worried about Edward’s future. However it was clear that we could not have left him in more capable hands. Words can not begin to say how grateful we are for all the support and help the school has given our children over the last few years. Both of our children will have fond memories of Swanbourne and are thankful for the skills and knowledge they carry with them for later life. Swanbourne could not have been a better foundation for life.” Mr. and Mrs. J.  Thornton  (Parents)
