History

The Polesworth School was founded in 1881 as an elementary school taking students between the ages of three and fourteen. It became a Secondary Modern in 1944, a Warwickshire High School in 1957, a 12 – 18 Comprehensive in 1976 and an 11 – 18 school in 1994.

In February 2011, the School was given Academy status and is simply called The Polesworth School.[clarification needed]

It is part of the Community Academies Trust.[2]

Facilities

The school occupies a 10-acre (40,000 m2) site in the Polesworth area. Its facilities include a Sports Centre whose use is shared with the community, a Drama Studio and a separate sixth form block with its own teaching, study and social areas.

An aerial view of the School can be seen here.[3]

Houses and Mixed Age Tutorial System

All students are in one of the following Houses: Arden, Kenilworth, Stratford or Warwick.

In September 2013, a mixed age tutorial system was introduced at The Polesworth School. Each House has 13 tutor groups. Each tutor group has a tutor and a co-tutor. The tutor groups include students from all year groups (Years 7 – 13). Within the tutor groups the students are organised into ‘family’ groups of 5 or 6 students per family. Each family is made up of students from different year groups.
