Warwick School is a public school which claims to be the third-oldest surviving school in England. The actual date of its founding is unknown; although 914 has been quoted in some cases, the school celebrated its millennium in the 1990s and it has also honoured King Edward the Confessor (c.1004-1066) as its founder. The school moved to its current site in 1879.
