Overview
Overview
Originally a dame school kept by Mrs Worthington at 2 Lillington Place, Leamington Spa, in 1864 the school was taken over by a former Assistant Master at Leamington College, Mr Alfred Kirk. An admirer of Dr Thomas Arnold of Rugby School, he named the school Arnold Lodge School. Originally the oldest prep school in Warwickshire, it extended its admission age to the GCSE years in 2008 and launched a Sixth Form in September 2013. The school was nominated for Senior School of the Year in the national TES Independent School Awards 2020.
