Ashlawn School is a secondary school on Ashlawn Road, Rugby, Warwickshire, England. Around 1,650 pupils attend the school educated by 90 full time teaching staff. The total amount of staff is around 110 members.

Ashlawn was previously known as Dunsmore School for Boys and Dunsmore School for Girls, until about 1985, when it merged with another secondary school, Fareham High School, to become Ashlawn School. The current headteacher is Lois Reed former assistant head. Former headteacher (at the school for around 23–24 years, since it becoming Ashlawn school), Peter Rossborough retired in July 2008.

In 2005 the school was granted Special Science College status, entitling the establishment to government grants for new educational equipment, such as portable tablets with internet access for the teachers. These are linked up to data projectors so that presentations and research can be done online and easily in front of a class. In April 2009 it was also awarded a Leadership College status.

In early 2007 the school received planning permission from Rugby Borough Council to erect a wind turbine at the school, making it one of the first in the country to employ such a scheme.
