New Swannington Primary School is in the heart of the New Forest and is situated between the villages of Whitwick and Swannington, approximately 2 miles from Coalville. The original school buildings date back to 1921 when the school's population was approximately 40 children. Over the years, this number has grown considerably and there are now approximately 200 children on role with each class being made up of a single year group.
The education and development of all our children is paramount to us and we recognise that the best can be achieved if our families and the school work together as a team. Communication is key to our success and we are committed to maintaining a regular conversation.
