Discover the best start for your child's future at St Francis Independent School and Nursery, located under 20 miles from Swindon.

At St Francis, we believe that childhood is a special time that lays the foundation for each child's future. That's why we are dedicated to providing the very best experience for your child, from the age of just 6 weeks, to 13 years old, during their educational journey. Located just 20 miles away from Swindon, we are easily accessible for families in the area.

Our goal is to carefully nurture each child's self-esteem, self-expression, strengths, and ambitions, so they grow into confident, considerate, and compassionate young people with vast potential. Our community is a happy, welcoming one with a "family feel," fostering strong parent partnerships and ensuring that each child feels seen, heard, and valued.

From the start of their journey at Little Saints Independent Nursery to the end of their time with us in Year 8, our children receive a decade of focused support to reach their full potential. At St Francis, we blend traditional educational values with innovation and outstanding pastoral care, all within 17 acres of stunning grounds where children can play, explore, and develop within the beauty of nature of our Forest School.

Our personalised approach and rich opportunities to develop skills, learning, and character ensure that every child receives the best education possible. With an 80-year legacy of providing the very best for our children and a wealth of success stories, we are proud of the extraordinary children we nurture.

"As parents, we’ve been so impressed with how the whole school community has welcomed us – from the teachers providing support and encouragement to our children, to parents reaching out to welcome us, and to the children themselves for being so friendly. It’s a real testament to the school community!"
