Local Schools

We have no primary school in the village, however there are three excellent small primary schools serving Skillington.


All are about 2 miles away.


The secondary schools are in Grantham of which there are many. The most famous being The Kings School which is now a fully selective Academy Grammar School. The bus service timings are ideal for pupils to commute from the village.

The Cross Swords

The Cross Swords Pub is right in the centre of Skillington. Both geographically and socially!


Since Charlotte and her partner Alan bought the pub in 2019 they have made many changes to the benefit of both drinkers and diners.


There is nowhere like “the local” to gain an understanding of the true spirit and friendliness of a village.
