Old Swinford Hospital
A welcome from
The Headmaster
Welcome to Old Swinford Hospital, or OSH for short. Rated ‘Outstanding for boarding’ by Ofsted and bringing together boarders and day students within its community, OSH prides itself on offering a unique educational experience where learning doesn’t end at the afternoon school bell. We are a community of many parts where we encourage each student to be themselves, and also to make their own contribution to it. Diversity of life is embraced, and learning to live – not simply work – alongside one another is a life skill that cannot be underestimated.
