Schools in Warwick
Warwick is the county town of Warwickshire with 29 schools - 21 primaries and 2 secondaries. Warwickshire County Council co-ordinates admissions and uses a mixture of catchment areas and distance tiebreakers. Warwick is closely linked to Leamington Spa for schooling purposes, and families in the border areas between the two towns should check their designated school carefully, as some catchments extend across both town centres.
Secondary provision in Warwick is served by Myton School and Kineton High School, both comprehensive academies. Families should be aware that Warwickshire also has grammar schools in Stratford-upon-Avon, Alcester and Rugby, and some Warwick families explore grammar options through the Warwickshire grammar test. The county does not operate a full selective system but has a small number of grammar schools as legacy provision.
