Page "Stratford-upon-Avon" Paragraph 56

A notable school in Stratford is King Edward VI school, which is where William Shakespeare is believed to have studied.

It is an all-boys school, and one of the few remaining grammar schools in England, selecting its pupils exclusively using the Eleven plus examination.

There is also an all-girls grammar school, Stratford-upon-Avon Grammar School for Girls, colloquially known as ' Shottery School ' after its location in the village of Shottery, a short distance from the town centre.

Finally, there is a non-selective secondary school, Stratford-upon-Avon High School, formerly known as the Hugh Clopton Secondary Modern School, which was demolished to make way for the new high school.

There are no independent secondary schools in the town, but there are many primary schools, both state and independent, as well as Stratford-upon-Avon College.
