About King's High School Warwick
King's High School Warwick was founded in 1879 as the girls' sister school of the medieval Warwick School (founded 914 AD — one of the oldest schools in England). The school is part of the Warwick Independent Schools Foundation, which today operates three schools: Warwick School (boys, ages 7-18), King's High School Warwick (girls, ages 11-18) and Warwick Prep School (co-educational, ages 3-11). The Foundation descends substantially from the original Warwick School royal endowment by King Edward the Elder in 914 AD, with King's High being the substantially later (1879) girls' provision.
The school operates today on a central Warwick campus, immediately adjacent to Warwick School and the medieval Warwick Castle, in the historic county town of Warwickshire. The school educates around 820 girls ages 11-18. The Headmaster is Stephen Burley. The school is a member of the GSA and is inspected by the ISI.
The school's academic profile is top-quintile Midlands girls' independent, with strong A-Level results and a particularly strong sciences and Russell Group pipeline (notably to the University of Warwick, located five miles south at Coventry). The school operates a substantial bursary programme via the Warwick Independent Schools Foundation, intended to provide educational access for Warwickshire and West Midlands families regardless of family means.
