Ashlawn School Academy Trust, more commonly known as Ashlawn School (or simply Ashlawn), is a large partially selective secondary school located in Rugby, Warwickshire, England that specialises in Science, Computing and Leadership. Ashlawn is one of only five bilateral schools in England, and these students need to score highly in the 11+ examination to gain admission to the grammar stream in Year 7.
Ashlawn School is a National Teaching School. It was granted this status in October 2014. These schools are judged to be 'outstanding' by Ofsted, and they help teachers from other schools train. Very few schools have been granted this status.
In November 2013, the school was awarded an OFSTED Outstanding rating (the highest rating) in all categories.
Around 1,750 pupils attend the school educated by 90 full-time teaching staff, with total staff at around 110 members. The incumbent headteacher is Lois Reed, who replaced former professional rugby union international Peter Rossborough, after his retirement in 2008.
Ashlawn School was previously known as Dunsmore School for Girls and Dunsmore School for Boys until 1985, when they merged with another secondary school, Fareham High School, to become today's Ashlawn School.
In 2005 the school was granted Special Science College status, entitling the establishment to government grants for new educational equipment, such as portable tablets with internet access. These are linked up to data projectors so that presentations and research can be done online and easily in front of a class. In April 2009 it was also awarded a Leadership College status. Both achievements have been commemorated with the construction of monuments, a rainbow coloured piece of modern art (created by a local artist), for the Science College status, and a large text embossed sun, for the Leadership status.
