About Ashlawn School

Ashlawn School in Rugby has turned a significant corner.

This marks a notable improvement from its previous inspection in 2022, where it was rated Inadequate overall. The turnaround is reflected in the school’s academic data for 2023/24. Its Progress 8 score sits at -0. 08, which is considered Average and places it just below the Warwickshire local authority average of 0. 02.
