Overview
Overview
Wellbeing, belonging, academic flourishing and character development form the Warwick Way, the framework around which Warwick School describes its education. The boys' day and boarding route extends from the junior years through the Senior School and Sixth Form, with junior entry at 7+, senior entry at 11+ and 13+ and boarding from 13+.
The curriculum pairs intellectual challenge with pastoral continuity and opportunities in sport, music, drama, outdoor education, careers, leadership and service. Individual knowledge matters: pupils are encouraged to think critically and creatively while taking part in a community connected with King's High, Warwick Prep and The Kingsley School through the Warwick Schools Foundation.
For September 2026, the Sixth Form lists 27 A Level subjects. Collaborative teaching with King's High and applied options through The Kingsley School include Applied Science, Food Science and Nutrition, Photography, Digital Media and Sport. The arrangement adds specialist choice while retaining Warwick's Sixth Form community and Extended Project Qualification.
Boarding remains intentionally small, with around 60 boarders and weekly, termly and flexi arrangements. Entry is available at 13+, 14+ and 16+, with entrance examinations and interview for boarding applicants. Warwick's distinctive combination is individual pastoral knowledge, ambitious study and a substantial life beyond lessons.
