Keswick School is a coeducational 11–18 academy in Cumbria, UK with 1360 pupils on roll. There are 309 students in the sixth form and 40 boarders. [1]

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.[ citation needed]. 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. [3]

School performance and inspections

As of 2023, the school's most recent inspection by Ofsted was in 2014, with a judgement of Outstanding. [4]
