There are no specific records relating to the education of William Shakespeare or his attendance at school but reasonable assumptions can be made based on the information that is available

William Shakespeare's father's appointment to the position of Bailiff in Stratford-upon-Avon may have brought with it free education for his sons, although this appears to conflict with the idea that Shakespeare did not finish grammar school because of his father's impecuniosity.

William Shakespeare probably attended King Edward IV Grammar School in Stratford-upon-Avon from the age of 7 in 1571 and left school and formal education when he was fourteen in 1578.

King Edward IV Grammar School is also referred to as the King's New School as it was named according to a charter by King Edward VI (Queen Elizabeth's younger brother) in 1553

Elizabethan boys were at first sent to a 'Petty School' between the ages of 5 and 7 years old to start their education where they learned their letters, catechism and rules of behaviour.
