Skyswood Primary & Nursery School opened in 1960 and is a one form entry school with a morning only nursery that feeds into a number of local schools. We are located in the pleasant residential area of Marshalswick on the north-east side of St Albans. One of our greatest strengths is our warm and friendly school community.
Skyswood has developed close links with other schools in the area, and became part of the Ambition Education Trust in September 2024, furthering strengthening our links with other local schools within the partnership.
