The School History

St Swithun’s Junior School, for 200 pupils aged 3 to 11, is part of St Swithun’s School and is on the same extensive site as the Senior School, on the outskirts of Winchester.

The school was founded in 1884 and the main buildings date from 1932. A junior school building was added in the late 1960s. Previously the juniors had been housed in a series of houses in the town. Following a fire in 1974 the junior school was rebuilt in its present form. Recently additional accommodation has been built for the juniors including a new Foundation Stage unit, a new gymnasium, a new kitchen and upgrades to classrooms and staff facilities.
