Twello is a village in the Dutch province of Gelderland. It is located in the municipality of Voorst, about 5 km (3 mi) southwest of Deventer. Twello is a village between the cities Deventer and Apeldoorn. It has several primary schools, among them De Hietweide, a public school, which means it has no religion tied to it; Sint Martinus, a Catholic primary school, located in front of the Sint Martinuskerk (see picture); De Wingerd, a Christian primary school located next to the Town Hall and De Kleine Wereld, a Christian primary school. The village also has two high schools for VMBO (voorbereidend middelbaar beroepsonderwijs, pre-vocational secondary education) and the first three grades of HAVO (hoger algemeen voortgezet onderwijs, higher general continued education).

Twello was a separate municipality until 1818, when it was merged with Voorst.[1]
