Girls' independent boarding and day school in Warwick, England
Why this school
Holds dual GSA and HMC accreditation, an uncommon combination for a UK girls' school.
Futures Department runs dedicated specialist pathways for Medicine, Law, Oxbridge, and Global Universities.
Project One Campus (2019) brought King's High, Warwick School, and Warwick Preparatory School onto one site.
King’s High Warwick is a selective independent school for girls aged 11 to 18, in the historic county town of Warwick, central England. Founded in 1879, it holds dual accreditation from the GSA (Girls’ Schools Association) and HMC (Headmasters’ and Headmistresses’ Conference) — a relatively rare combination for a girls’ school. The school sits within the Warwick Schools Foundation alongside Warwick School and Warwick Preparatory School, which means shared resources, joint co-curricular activity, and a sixth form centre used by pupils from both King’s High and Warwick School. Around 700 pupils are on roll across day and boarding places. Day fees for the senior school start at £21,870 per year (2025/26); full boarding is £53,640 per year (2025/26).
King’s High follows a GCSE and A-level curriculum through to Year 13. A-level results in 2025 saw 44% of grades at A*–A, 71% at A*–B, and 88% at A*–C. That consistency keeps the school competitive within the UK independent sector. Around 90% of sixth form leavers progress to their first-choice university destination.
The sixth form is co-located with Warwick School’s sixth form in a shared Sixth Form Centre. The building has a café and social space on the ground floor, a collaborative working area on the first floor, and a silent study zone with an outdoor roof terrace on the second floor. The school’s Futures Department runs specialist pathways for Medicine, Law, Oxbridge, and Global Universities, plus guidance for degree apprenticeships. Beyond A-levels, sixth formers can complete the King’s High Baccalaureate, attend a weekly Friday Afternoon Activities Programme, and join Friday lectures and joint PSHEE (Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education) sessions with Warwick School throughout the year.

Boarding is available from Year 9 through to the sixth form. Full boarding is £53,640 per year (2025/26), weekly boarding is £43,671 per year (2025/26), and flexi-boarding runs from £65–£75 per night depending on the number of consecutive nights booked. International pupils placed through EDVISION are accommodated with local host families. International boarding enquiries are handled by Boarding Student Recruitment Manager Mr Henry Xia. The registration fee is £120 and the deposit is £500.
Sport, music, and drama run at both competitive and participation levels. The sixth form timetable includes weekly Health, Fitness and Wellbeing sessions alongside the Friday Afternoon Activities Programme. Because King’s High shares a campus with Warwick School and Warwick Preparatory School, pupils have access to a wider range of clubs, fixtures, and ensembles than a standalone school of similar size would typically offer. The boarding community adds an international dimension to the co-curricular calendar throughout the year.
The school moved to its current campus in September 2019 as part of the Warwick Schools Foundation’s Project One Campus development. The shared site brings King’s High, Warwick School, and Warwick Preparatory School together, with specialist facilities across academic, sporting, and arts disciplines. The sixth form building is purpose-designed, with dedicated social, study, and outdoor spaces.
