School Students Against War (SSAW, formerly School Students Against the War) is an active school students' anti-war group based in the UK. It was established in 2003 as a youth off-shoot of the Stop the War Coalition which opposes the Iraq war.

The organisation was involved in the wave of school student protests against the 2003 invasion of Iraq, which received considerable media attention.[1] Since then it has organised and supported a number of smaller protests, including a march against George W. Bush's visit to London in November 2003 and the UK G8 summit protests in July 2005.

SSAW has also been involved in anti-arms trade campaigns including Disarm Dsei, the campaign against climate change and the Stop Deporting Children campaign.

At the moment, the organisation has groups in Cardiff, Edinburgh, Liverpool, Canterbury, Bristol and London. They urge all who wish to get involved to get in touch via their web-site or the e-mail contact@ssaw.org.uk
