Keswick School
Keswick School is a coeducational 11–18 academy in Cumbria, United Kingdom rated 'Outstanding' by Ofsted in 2024 with 1200 pupils on roll. There are 260 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]
