Hinckley's own education stops at further education, with North Warwickshire and Hinckley College in the town. John Cleveland College, among whose former pupils is the England rugby player Manu Tuilagi, carries the name of the royalist poet who attended Hinckley Grammar School in the 17th century.
For degree courses Coventry is the natural pull to the south-west. The M69 runs straight there and Stagecoach's 148 bus continues on to Coventry from Nuneaton.
From Stoke, a Hinckley family is close to the Coventry campus on the morning of the ceremony: Stoke Lodge and Stoke House are about a mile from it. Coventry University had 29,505 students in 2024/25 and its centrepiece building, The Hub, opened in August 2011.
Coventry University grew from the Coventry School of Design of 1843 and gained university status in 1992. Its 33-acre campus sits inside the ring road, with the Frederick Lanchester Library, opened in 2000, at its heart.
Before heading home, Hinckley Museum, in a row of 17th-century framework knitters' cottages, is open from Easter Monday to the end of October.
Back in Hinckley, the basketball club founded in 1974 by staff and students of John Cleveland College still plays as the Hinckley 69ers and the Hinckley Hail.
