Keswick School is a coeducational 11–18 academy in Cumbria, United Kingdom rated 'Outstanding' by Ofsted in 2024 with 1200 pupils on roll. There are 260 students in the sixth form and 40 boarders.
The school is the successor of the former voluntary aided grammar school of Keswick, founded at the latest by 1591.
The symbols on the schools crest are a reference to the miracles of Saint Mungo.. When the school was a Grammar School, it had a school song in Latin which began "Assurgit Skidda stabilis / Mons nunquam non durabilis", referring to the nearby Skiddaw.
Two pupils of the school were killed on 24 May 2010 when a coach returning from a school trip was involved in a traffic collision on the A66 road.
