About Old Swinford Hospital
Old Swinford Hospital is a voluntary-aided state boarding, aged 11 - 18 years.
We are a Church of England school and pleased to welcome children of any faith or, indeed, none at all. We want the very best for all of them because we believe that they all have exciting potential and an important contribution to make.
The School has a long history. It was founded under the name Stourbridge Hospital by industrialist Thomas Foley in 1667, in order to teach boys the skills and attributes to become responsible citizens – an aim that still applies in the 21st century.
