Here at Swanmore CE Primary School we welcome all enquiries from families looking to join our community. We currently have a limited number of places in year groups across the school, so if you have any questions or queries regarding the school admissions process or would like to enquire if there are places available in your chosen year group, please feel free to contact Mrs. Emily Bechelet on 01489 894555. 

We invite families to explore our charming village school, where you can see our learning in action and meet our Headteacher, Mr. John Paterson.

We hold Open Mornings each Autumn for families to come for a tour of our school. Further information can be found here.

Consultation for Admissions Policy 2026/2027

Governing Boards of Voluntary Aided schools are the admission authority for the school. This information is in accordance with Schools Admission Code 2021, section 1.45 to 1.48.  Admissions authorities must consult on their admissions arrangements at least once every 7 years, even if there have been no changes, which is why our 2026/2027 Admissions Policy is out for consultation. The consultation period will last from Monday 4th November to Monday 16th December 2024.

If you have any comments regarding the 2026/2027 Admissions Policy, as part of the consultation process, please send them to Kirsten Cook via k.cook@swanmore-pri.hants.sch.uk.

The 2026/2027 Admissions Policy can be found below, along with our other current admissions policies.
