Chess Club

As a school which believes passionately that children can be taught to think, we are really happy that we have been able to start a Chess Club for Year 3 & 4.
Chess is great fun; a game which can be enjoyed at any age, but also a great way to develop logical and strategic thinking.
Many thanks to our friends at Southampton University Chess Club who are running the activity with us. As you can see from the picture, the concentration was incredible, and all the children who attended had an absolutely brilliant time. Let's see who the first grandmaster to emerge from Swaythling Primary will be!

Egg Rolling


One of the long-standing traditions at Swaythling School is the annual Easter egg roll. Using only their noses, our children propel Creme eggs across the hall floor to thunderous applause! A great time was had by all. Many thanks to FOSS (Parents' Association) for providing the creme eggs.
