Kenilworth School and Sixth Form

What Kenilworth School and Sixth Form does

Kenilworth School and Sixth Form is a state-funded secondary school and sixth form located on Glasshouse Lane, Kenilworth, Warwickshire, England, operating as part of the Kenilworth Multi Academy Trust (KMAT), a company limited by guarantee registered in England and Wales (company number 7700728). The institution delivers secondary education for pupils in Years 7–11 (GCSE preparation) and a sixth form for Years 12–13 (A-Level and vocational qualifications), with a curriculum spanning languages, sciences, humanities, arts, and vocational subjects such as Food Science & Nutrition and BTEC Sport. It also operates substantial extracurricular programming including the Duke of Edinburgh Award, drama and music productions, an Animal Club, and student-led charity initiatives, notably USU (Urban Sounds for Uyogo), which has raised over £80,000 since 2004 in partnership with the long-running Kenilworth-Uyogo Friendship Link dating to 1979.

The school is led by CEO Hayden Abbott (KMAT-level) and Head of School Nick Mummery, with a staff headcount of 65 recorded in firmographic data. It achieved an 'Outstanding' rating in all areas from Ofsted in November 2023 and serves as a partner school to The Westwood Academy within KMAT, with shared fundraising and events such as the KMAT Great Debate Showcase 2026 with the University of Warwick. The core technology stack consists of standard third-party EdTech tools (ParentPay, ClassCharts, Office365, GCSEPod) rather than proprietary platforms; there are no bespoke AI/ML systems in evidence.

The business model is a UK state-funded academy model: education is free at the point of delivery, with operating income derived primarily from government per-pupil funding routed via Warwickshire Local Authority. Ancillary revenue is generated through facilities hire to the community via KMAT Leisure (sports halls, theatres, classrooms) and through PTA fundraising. The customer base consists of catchment-area pupils aged 11–18, parents/guardians as a secondary stakeholder group, and community buyers of hired facilities. As a not-for-profit academy trust entity, surplus is reinvested in educational provision rather than distributed.

• Greenwood Academies Trust: Multi-academy trust operating secondary schools across the Midlands and East of England. Operates within the same UK state MAT structure, with comparable sized secondary campuses and trust-level operating model.
• Tudor Grange Academies Trust: Multi-academy trust operating secondary schools across the West Midlands region including in Warwickshire. Geographic overlap and similar-sized secondary schools make it one of the closest regional MAT peers.

• Southam College: State-funded secondary school in Southam, Warwickshire, serving a similar 11-18 age range and competing in the same Warwickshire admissions market. Comparable curriculum, sixth form provision, and demographics make it a direct peer for pupil recruitment.
