Ashlawn School is a secondary school on Ashlawn Road, Rugby, Warwickshire, England. The current headteacher is Peter Rossborough, a former England Rugby Union international. Around 1,400 pupils attend the school educated by 80 full time teaching staff. 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.

Ashlawn was previously known as Dunsmore School until about 1985, when it merged with another secondary school, Fareham High School, to become Ashlawn School. 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.
