About Warminster School
A co-educational boarding and day school for pupils aged 3-18 in the South West of England.
Warminster School Description
Every child has the capacity to enjoy and be good at something. We believe that it’s our job to help them find what that is and nurture it. Every child here is also encouraged to aspire academically and to enjoy their learning. We are proud that, at Warminster, our pupils not only fulfil their academic potential but are challenged to develop an intellectual curiosity and to have lively minds. Those are habits to last a lifetime.
Reviews
"In the next couple of weeks we look forward to hosting our Imagine Exhibition. We hope that the local community will be able to join us in the Thomas Arnold Hall on Tuesday 25th June from 4.45pm-6.30pm for a drinks reception and celebration of our pupils creative talents. It promises to be a wonderful evening and on the night, local artist, Beatrice Haines will be giving a talk during the viewing, discussing the importance of Art in everyday life, and in education." Louisa Clayton, Head of Art

In December 2018, the dice rolled and our Headmaster's fate for his final Speech Day at Warminster was sealed.
In front of a packed Speech Day audience, Mr and Mrs Mortimer nervously delivered on their challenge. We are just a little bit proud of them both! If you couldn't make it or would like to relive the supportive and community atmosphere, Game of Zones is available to watch now.

We are delighted to announce that writer and historian, Gavin Mortimer, will join us as part of the Thomas Arnold Lecture series on Thursday 21 March at 7:30pm.
Gavin, who lives in Paris, is a writer and historian whose books have been published on both sides of the Atlantic.

We agree with Michael J. Fox “Family is not an important thing. It's everything.”
Putting together our festive flick this year really was a family affair. Staff, pupils and Old Verlucians working as film crew, parents and staff gently persuaded to star on screen and every department of the School involved and supporting in some way. It was a wonderful Warminster team effort!
With the help of our generous Warminster community and Yellow Balloon Films, we proudly present 'Christmas Socks II: The Long Wait' https://vimeo.com/305067187
Stuart Morgan-Nash was larger than life and loved by everyone, not least the thousands of children he taught over the years. Many of his former colleagues at Warminster School wanted to do something collectively to remember Stuart in a way that would benefit a cancer research charity or hospice and the Bath Rugby Walk ticked all the boxes. https://www.warminsterschool.org.uk/news‚ Ķ/‚Ķ/mashys-marchers/
A message from Nikki Morgan-Nash
"A service to celebrate Stuart Morgan-Nash’s life will be held on Tuesday 18th of December at 12pm at The Minster Church, Warminster BA12 8PQ. Followed by a reception afterwards at Warminster School. All who wish to attend are very welcome."
As the festive season approaches, come along to our popular Christmas Market at Warminster School organised by our wonderful Parents Assocation.

All welcome! https://www.warminsterschool.org.uk/news‚ Ķ/‚Ķ/festive-shopping
