Kineton High School
Kineton High School is a mixed secondary school located in South Warwickshire, England within the village of Kineton. It is a non-selective academy school with a sixth form.
History
Students from Kineton and surrounding villages transferred to the newly built school when it opened. A swimming pool was built with help from the local community in 1972 with money raised by students doing a sponsored walk. In October 1998, a cobweb was found to be covering the 4.54 hectare playing field, giving it the world record for the largest spider web outdoors. In the early to mid 2000s the school gained extensions in two classrooms next to the school kitchen, an ICT suite by the library and a fitness suite next to the changing rooms. Specialist Sports College status was obtained in 2003. The school celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2008. There was a fire in the sports centre in 2009. An artificial turf pitch for use in P.E. was built on the field in the early 2010s. A new science block was completed in 2017, replacing seven dilapidated mobile classrooms, the most significant development at the school in 40 years. The school became an academy in September 2019, joining Stowe Valley Multi Academy Trust, having been a community school run by Warwickshire County Council previously. BBC Midlands Today interviewed students for a report on schools staying open during the COVID-19 pandemic in November 2020. In September 2024, the four Houses Adlington, Ainslie, Hoy and Redgrave, named after Team GB Olympians, were replaced by Avon, Castle, Fosse and Verney, local landmarks.Rebuild
The school was rebuilt after being named one of the first 50 schools chosen as part of the Government's School Rebuilding Programme. All the school buildings are set to be demolished with the exception of the science block, which was completed in 2017, replaced by a new three-storey block and separate sports hall.Headteachers
