Welcome to Swavesey Primary School, and our school website where you will hopefully find all the information about us you need. Swavesey Primary School serves a rural catchment area, including the villages of Swavesey and Lolworth.
We have 309 primary children leaping into their learning in 11 mixed aged classes, while our Early Years and Playwork centre (EY&P) encourages learning through play for up to 30 preschoolers per session.
EY&P also provides wrap-around provision from 7.30am to 6pm through a breakfast and an after school club, the former is open to children aged 3 to 11 years and the latter 4 to 11 years. Year 3 & 4 - Iron Man Writing Celebration! Year 3 and 4 have produced some wonderful work this term, combining story telling with an exciting journey into history...
