Swanage Grammar School was a former school in Swanage, Dorset, England, established in 1929. It closed in 1974.[1] Having been used as a centre for outdoor pursuits and geography-based learning, the building became defunct in 2002. In 2022 the school was demolished to make way for a housing development.[2] The building was situated at the northern end of Swanage, at the top of Northbrook Road, 15 minutes walk from the sea.
