Warminster School

Warminster School is an independent boarding school set on a 60-acre campus in Wiltshire, combining traditional architecture with modern facilities. The grounds include classrooms, sports areas, and residential buildings for students from age 2 through 18.

The school was founded in 1707 as a grammar school and merged with St. Monica's School in 1973 to create the present institution. This combination shaped the school community that continues today.

The school maintains a strong musical culture where most students take lessons and perform in concerts throughout the year. This musical engagement shapes the daily rhythm of school life.

The school offers both day and boarding options, following the English National Curriculum with A-Levels and International Baccalaureate programs for older students. Contact ahead to arrange a visit and confirm access details for touring the campus.

A historic fives court from 1860 still stands behind School House, where students play this traditional English sport using only their hands. This rare facility offers a window into a nearly forgotten ball game with deep roots in English education.
