Academic Approach

We want every child to achieve their full potential.

At Swans, we provide an excellent learning environment. Our results are testament to this, with consistently high grades at both GCSE and IB level that rival some of the best students worldwide. But we also pride ourselves on the pastoral care that we offer.

An inherent feature of our school is the social and emotional support that we provide to all of our students, which gives the sense of a family environment for both students and teachers.

Our belief is that such support inspires young people to be the best that they can be, regardless of their age or ability, and it is this structure which ensures that, when a student leaves Swans, they are fully prepared for life beyond education.

Even though our school has greatly expanded since our early days, our values remain the same, with hard work at the core of our ethos.

Building Language Skills

We strongly believe that if our students are to succeed across a range of subjects, they must develop strong reading skills and a wide vocabulary. Watch the video below for more details...

Frequently Asked Questions

What curriculum does Swans follow?

We follow the British educational system, meaning that in Years 10 and 11, students at Swans undertake GCSE or IGCSE courses. The three examination boards used at Swans are Cambridge (CIE), AQA and Edexcel.

Our Sixth Form students undertake the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. We opted for this course over other further education qualifications (such as UK A-levels) due to its international outlook and the fact that it is now widely regarded as the most respected qualification by top universities, as well as the best preparation for future life.

Are the teachers native English speakers?

Do the children also study Spanish?

Yes, all children study the subjects required by the Ministry of Education of the Junta de Andalucía for the teaching of Spanish Language and Culture.

In order to accommodate the different levels of Spanish of our students, we offer three possibilities:

Primaria (for students with a native level)
Primaria Adaptada (for students with a high level of Spanish but who need to improve their understanding and expression, whilst adapting to the Spanish work and evaluation system)
SFL (for students who need to acquire basic knowledge of the language).

An Enriching Educational Environment
