School Description

Swadelands is a smaller than average-sized secondary school. It is non-selective and serves Maidstone, Ashford and surrounding Kent villages. The vast majority of pupils are of White British heritage, with very few speaking English as an additional language. There are more boys than girls in the school. The proportion of disadvantaged students known to be eligible for the pupil premium is broadly average. The proportion of pupils with a statement of special educational needs or an education and health care plan is above average. Pupils’ attainment on entry to Year 7 is significantly lower than average. The school uses rooms in the student drop-in centre, known as Reach and Reset, to provide time and space away from other pupils following incidents of poor behaviour or in cases where students need higher levels of on-going support to engage in learning. The school uses Goldwyn School in Ashford as a provider of alternative education. The headteacher and leaders of Thamesview School are providing a package of support to Swadelands School. Swadelands School is the hub for the Mid-Kent and Maidstone School Games. The school provides advice Inspection report: Swadelands School 9–10 December 2015 8 of 10 and guidance on physical education to local primary schools. In 2014, the school did not meet the government’s floor standard for the minimum expectations of attainment and progress at GCSE.
