EnglandStratford-upon-Avon

Schools in Stratford-upon-Avon

The birthplace and burial place of William Shakespeare, Stratford-upon-Avon has drawn pilgrims, theatregoers, and families to its medieval streets beside the River Avon for over eight centuries. Around 30,000 people call the town home.

The town centre, anchored by the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, sits within one of Warwickshire's most school-competitive postcodes for primary places, and Stratford-upon-Avon draws families from across the southern Arden area. Rail services on the Shakespeare Line run to Birmingham Snow Hill in just over an hour, and Ettington is one of the surrounding villages that broadens the school catchment southward into the Cotswold fringe.
