Keswick School
View on Wikipedia
Keswick School is a coeducational 11–18 academy in Cumbria, England. There are 1200 pupils on roll, with 260 students in the sixth form and 40 boarders.[1]
Key Information
The school is the successor of the former voluntary aided grammar school of Keswick, founded at the latest by 1591.[2]
The symbols on the schools crest are a reference to the miracles of Saint Mungo.[3] When the school was a Grammar School, it had a school song in Latin which began "Assurgit Skidda stabilis / Mons nunquam non durabilis", referring to the nearby Skiddaw.
Two pupils of the school were killed on 24 May 2010 when a coach returning from a school trip was involved in a traffic collision on the A66 road.[4]
The school was rated as "Outstanding" in 2024.[5]
School performance and inspections
[edit]As of 2024[update], the school's most recent inspection by Ofsted was in 2024, with a judgement of 'Outstanding' in all categories.[6]
