Quick answers

Questions people ask

Which town in Warwickshire has the best schools?

Kenilworth ranks first on schools among 34 towns, with an A: better than 92% of UK towns. Bishop's Itchington and Harbury follow.

How are these towns ranked?

The School Grade (England only): Key Stage 2 and GCSE results of the state schools in the town (or within 3 km), weighted by pupils and measured against England’s schools. The letter and rank are the same as on each town’s page. How grades work.

Why isn’t my town on this list?

Welsh towns have no School Grade: Wales doesn’t publish school-level results. Garrison towns and university campuses aren’t ranked, and towns without the figures this grade needs are counted above. The list covers Warwickshire’s towns of 2,500+ with the figure. Smaller places show it on their own pages; every town in Warwickshire is on the county page.
