Our School
We at Bweeng N.S have seen a lot of changes to our school building in the past few years. The first building on this site was opened in 1953. It was extended and refurbished with a grant received from the Department of Education and Science in 2007/08. With the money we refurbished the old building, built two new classrooms, an office, a staff room and a multi-purpose hall. A classroom was added in 2012, and another in 2015. At present, we have applied for planning permission for a resource room and an additional classroom. The hall is used for P.E, drama and concerts. There is also a playground and a playing pitch on the school grounds. We are now fortunate to have a very modern, bright, warm, spacious school. We are well resourced to look after the needs of our pupils. Every classroom is equipped with an interactive whiteboard. We also have laptops and i-pads.
