Warwick School is a public school (British independent boarding and day school) in Warwick, England.
Known as King's School, Warwick until around 1900, it is believed to have been founded by Æthelflæd of Mercia in 914 AD, making it the fifth-oldest surviving school in England, after King's School, Canterbury; King's School, Rochester; St Peter's School, York; and Wells Cathedral School.[citation needed] It may also be the oldest surviving school founded by a woman and the oldest public school in the world to remain open only to boys.[citation needed] Its headmasters have been members of the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference since 1896.
The school is part of the Warwick Independent Schools Foundation, which also owns The King's High School for Girls and Warwick Preparatory School.
