ON TRACK EDUCATION MILDENHALL – SWIFT HOUSE

The Swift House site is part of the On Track school in Mildenhall. Swift House is set in stunning scenery on a very peaceful country estate in Quidenham, Norfolk. Our school is a small independent special school for pupils aged 11 to 16 with behavioural, emotional and social difficulties. The Mildenhall school has been established for 15 years and was last inspected by Ofsted in March 2023, receiving judgements of ‘good’ in all categories. Our pupils engage in an interesting and inspiring curriculum that leads them to gain accreditation, including a range of GCSEs, BTEC and Level 1 / Level 2 qualifications
With a strong focus on social and emotional development, the school adopts trusting, respectful relationships between staff and pupils, forming the foundation for meaningful progress. Its motivational and progressive curriculum is underpinned by the therapeutic principles of THRIVE®, supporting each young person’s emotional wellbeing alongside academic achievement.
