Best Answer

Although the records of the only school in Stratford that he is likely to have attended have unfortunately been destroyed, it's a safe bet that he attended the King's New School (now Edward VI school) in Stratford. The classical allusions he uses in the plays are consistent with the school curriculum, not the university one. Shakespeare was made fun of by Robert Greene for not having a university education.
