Welcome to Warneford!

We are a friendly and successful 11-16 school serving the market town of Highworth and the surrounding area. We have a strong ethos and a proud tradition of academic excellence. We provide a safe, well-disciplined and vibrant learning environment and the quality of pastoral care is outstanding.

When young people join us, they become part of our family and we do everything we can to nurture them and enable them to reach their potential. Our House system forms the backbone of this and underpins so much of what we do: pastoral care, competition, rewards, student leadership and much more.

The school’s vision is based on five clear principles:

Excellence:  Students strive for excellence in everything that they do

Aspiration:  Students achieve their full potential - never settling for just enough

Challenge:  Students are resilient and can adapt to embrace challenge

Character:  Students act with kindness, integrity and clear moral values

Community:  Students are global citizens; positively engaging with the local, national and international community

Please take a look at the video above or browse our website to find out more. Of course, you are always welcome to come and visit us to see the school in action. I would be delighted to arrange a tour and meet with you personally to answer any questions you may have about our fantastic school.
