Myton School
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Myton School is a secondary school located on Myton Road in the town of Warwick in Warwickshire. The history of the school in its current form dates from 1968. Two single-sex schools had each moved to the site that Myton School presently occupies and they were amalgamated in 1968. Since then the school has grown substantially as the size of each school year has increased, 11 year olds were admitted for the first time in 1996 (when Warwickshire changed its secondary school start date to a year earlier) and as the Sixth Form has grown in size. The school currently has some 1,600 pupils.
It became a grant maintained school in 1992, and a foundation school after grant maintained status was abolished by the incoming Labour government in 1997. Under the government's school specialisation funding scheme it has become a specialist science college. Its examination results in recent years at GCSE and A Level have consistently been above the national average with 59.4% of A Level candidates achieving A–C grades and 74% of GCSE candidates achieving 5 or more A*–C grades in 2005.
