Mildenhall & Swift House

the Mildenhall school

On Track Education Mildenhall is an independent special school that has been supporting young people since opening in April 2005. The school offers places for up to 60 pupils aged 11 to 18 and works with young people who have a range of additional needs, including ASD, ADHD, SEMH, learning difficulties, and other special educational needs.

At Mildenhall, we are committed to helping pupils develop positive attitudes to learning and to supporting them to experience success, often after previous challenges in education. Our approach is centred on understanding each individual and providing the right balance of academic support, care, and guidance.

We aim to make a positive difference to every young person who attends our school. By helping pupils better understand the world around them and their place within it, we support them to develop the skills, confidence, and resilience needed to fulfil their potential.

Our focus is on preparing pupils for life beyond school, whether that is further education, training, employment, or other meaningful pathways. We encourage independence, self-belief, and personal responsibility, enabling young people to move forward as confident, successful, and caring individuals.

Swift House

Swift House is an independent specialist setting located within stunning scenery on a peaceful country estate. Since welcoming its first pupils in September 2023, the school has developed a calm, inclusive environment designed to support young people with ASD or ASD traits at Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4.

The school is built around small class sizes and high staff-to-pupil ratios, allowing for personalised support that responds to individual needs. This approach helps pupils feel safe, understood, and confident in their learning, often after experiencing challenges in more traditional settings.

Swift House offers a full curriculum up to GCSE level, alongside a range of enrichment opportunities that support pupils’ personal, social, and emotional development. The school is proud to hold an Eco-Schools Award and is working towards becoming a Thrive School of Excellence, reflecting its strong commitment to wellbeing and sustainable practice.

At Swift House, we aim to develop positive attitudes to learning and equip pupils with the skills, confidence, and knowledge they need to move successfully into further education, training, employment, or other meaningful pathways beyond school.
