Schools in Atherstone

A market town of around nine thousand people, Atherstone is the administrative centre of North Warwickshire on the A5 at the county's northern edge, where the River Anker marks the boundary with Leicestershire. The Shrove Tuesday Ball Game has run here since 1199.

Atherstone is the school-competitive focus of the district, with families targeting its state primary and secondary provision, while Austrey draws parents seeking smaller rural catchments for primary places. Grendon and Twycross form part of the wider rural area where families look for school options across North Warwickshire. Rail services from Atherstone station reach Nuneaton and Birmingham New Street within the hour.
