Swell School

Swell Primary School has recently converted to become Swell Academy Trust and is part of
the North Cotswold School Federation Trust. The school is comparatively small with
currently 29 pupils on roll, split between 3 classes. Swell is excited to be opening a new
preschool in September 2023 to help support the village and local areas with preschool
provision.
Swell Primary has recently had a major refurbishment, which has compromised a new
reception area, a new office, refurbished toilets and a new classroom. The work was able to
be completed thanks to a community effort, with the majority of the money coming from
local benefactors.
Swell Primary Academy is a Church of England School and is linked to St Mary’s Church. The
school uses the church for festivals, such as Harvest, Christmas and Easter. Children visit the
church also as part of their religious education studies. Prior to the pandemic a team of
volunteers visited fortnightly to lead ‘Open the Book’ worship.
