History
The school was founded in 1966 with Dr J. M. Frost the first headmaster. It was originally to be called either Rookery Lane School or Holbrook High, but the assassination of President John F Kennedy during the approval stage resulted in the school being named after President John F. Kennedy. The school marked the 50th anniversary of John F. Kennedy's assassination with a series of special assemblies and debates led by its History Department. The school is located in the north-west of Coventry[3] and includes the Holbrooks and Whitmore Park areas of the city.
Performing Arts
The school possesses its own modern TV studio and recording studio and runs a popular film making and editing club called 'PK Productions.' Many of these students assist with staging and filming the school's main stage productions throughout the year.
