The Hermitage Schools are made up of The Hermitage Infant School and the Hermitage Junior School based close to the heart of St John’s Village. They are part of The SWAN Trust which incorporates 10 schools within the Woking area. The schools work closely together and aim to support each other through purposeful collaboration that enhances educational opportunities and supports improvements in the quality of learning for all our children.

All schools within The SWAN Trust warmly welcome children, families, governors and staff from diverse backgrounds within the Woking community. The schools within The Trust aim to ensure that every child feels safe and happy in school creating a culture where they can grow and develop.

The Hermitage Schools work together to ensure all children receive a quality education, supporting families to prepare their child for success in our ever-changing world. Our nurturing safe environment and stimulating curriculum harnesses each child’s unique skills through a range of opportunities whilst embedding a love to learn.

The Hermitage Schools are an inspiring and inclusive community where every child is treated as an individual and is challenged to reach their full potential.
