Hello! We are looking to move to the area, within commuting distance of Gaydon possibly. The most important thing is finding my 15 year old his next school/college for his A levels in September 2017. Would be really gratefull for some honest insights into his options and what recommendations/opinions you have. Thank you so much.

It might be worth posting this in Education too.

That being said Princethorpe College (outskirts of Rugby) is very good. I've no experience with my own children, they're KS1 & under, but I've had 4 family members attend in recent years & they've all loved it & had fab results.

My DH used to work in the Education sector and has visited lots of schools. He's since moved into a different sector but is still a mentor/careers speaker of sorts. He visited Southam college a few months ago and was really impressed. Ofsted outstanding too.
Kineton High School is also highly regarded by many parents I know.
If you're into high pressure A*s then KES or Shottery in Stratford are worth looking at.
Princethorpe is private?

I went to Southam College and had an amazing experience.
I have relatives that went to princethorpe and said the same. It depends on what your dcs are interested in.
