We gain massive benefits from belonging to SWAT. The South West Academic Trust is a partnership of leading grammar schools in the South West and the University of Exeter. Our vision is to work together to raise achievement and aspiration within our schools and across the region. Each school seeks to continue and extend existing partnerships with community schools, sharing and embedding good practice and innovation in order to contribute to raising standards and achievement.

SWAT is made up of the following schools: Bournemouth School for Girls, Churston Ferrers Grammar School, Colyton Grammar School, Devonport High School for Girls, Devonport High School for Boys, Parkstone Grammar School, Plymouth High School for Girls, Poole Grammar School, South Wilts Grammar School, Torquay Boys’ Grammar School, Torquay Girls’ Grammar School, and the University of Exeter.

We are the leading centre for the Level 3 Extended Project in the South-West.
