Boarding School in Wiltshire, South-West England

Warminster School:
Located in West Wiltshire, in the South West of England (90 minutes from London), Warminster School is an independent, day and boarding school for boys and girls from the age of 3 to 18. Warminster School provides a warm, open and friendly Pre-Prep, Preparatory, and Senior School academic environment in which pupils are well cared for, well educated, and encouraged to respect the staff and each other.

International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme:
The International Baccalaureate Diploma is offered as an alternative to A levels in our thriving sixth form. It provides a range of academic choices within a challenging and stimulating curriculum, together with a wide variety of activities relating to creativity, action and service. The Diploma Programme epitomises the holistic approach to education for which Warminster School is so well known and valued.

AS and A2 qualifications (A Levels):
A Levels are based on six units of approximately equal size. Three of these make up an Advanced Subsidiary (AS) course, representing the first half of an advanced level course of study. The other three are known as A2, representing the second half of the A Level. The AS examination is harder than GCSE, but easier than A Level. The A2 units are more challenging than the AS units. Pupils will be expected to study four subjects to AS standard. Exceptionally a pupil may choose to study five AS subjects. These subjects will normally be examined in the Summer Term of the Lower Sixth, and pupils can gain AS qualifications at this stage if they do not intend to continue that subject in the Upper Sixth.
