Thursday, 9 December 2021 00:00

Leehurst Swan has been named in the Sunday Times School Guide for the Top 50 independent schools with a small or no sixth form.

The Salisbury independent day school ranked 17th in the annual Parent Power League, which is based on the GCSE examination performance in Summer 2021, and was the only Wiltshire school in the top 25.

Speaking to Love Salisbury, Headmaster Terence Ayres said, “We are enormously proud to have been named in the Sunday Times Parent Power listings. Whilst league tables reflect only one aspect of pupil success at Leehurst Swan, I am delighted the outstanding academic achievements of our pupils has been recognised.

"These exceptional results are only a small part of what they will leave Leehurst Swan with. Their values, teamwork, personal achievements, firm friendships and memories will remain with them for life. Well done to all pupils and staff!"
