Keswick School is a coeducational 11–18 academy in Cumbria, United Kingdom with 1360 pupils on roll. There are 309 students in the sixth form and 40 boarders.^[1]

The school is the successor of the former voluntary aided grammar school of Keswick, founded at the latest by 1591.^[2]

The symbols on the schools crest are a reference to the miracles of Saint Mungo.^{[citation needed]}. 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.^[3]
