We understand that an announcement has recently been made about the future of Carrdus School in Banbury, and as a result, many parents are exploring their options for their children’s continued education. We are very sorry to hear this news, and we recognise that this is a deeply unsettling time for parents and their children.  

For parents who would like to explore the options available to them at Warwick Schools Foundation, we are more than happy to arrange tours and visits and answer any questions about the Admissions process.

Our schools

The Foundation creates a journey for pupils and for their families - an exciting journey through the schools, with the welcome security of offering a trusted flightpath from age 3 all the way through to age 18.

Whilst our typical entry points for our schools is Nursery, Reception, Year 3, Year 7, or Year 12, we will also explore alternative potential entry points into other year groups, especially in the context of school closure announcements.

Warwick Schools Foundation consists of:

Warwick School, for boys aged 11-18

Our Foundation brings consistency and continuity without homogeneity; each school retains its own character and identity, but benefits from the strength and support of the Foundation. This enables our schools to be best resourced to provide an exemplary environment in which to educate our pupils for the future. We aim to develop responsible, resilient, and compassionate individuals, equipped to succeed and bring about positive change in an evolving world.

As a Foundation of schools, many of our pupils who join us at preparatory school age - at Warwick Preparatory School, Warwick School, and The Kingsley School - and stay with us all the way until the end of Upper Sixth in Year 13. 

Our model of education is unique, and offers the 'best-of-both worlds’ for our pupils; teaching specifically tailored to their needs, with extensive learning opportunities to collaborate with peers from across the Foundation outside the classroom.

The Kingsley School is based on our Leamington Campus in the town of Royal Leamington Spa, whilst our other schools are all based on our 55-acre Warwick Campus. With many of our pupils staying on their journey with us from Prep through to Sixth Form, they benefit from the familiarity with staff, facilities, and peers, that a Warwick Schools Foundation education provides.
