The Minster School is a Church of England Primary School in the centre of Warminster, with strong links with the local church, St. Denys The Minster.
Built in 1882, the school now includes a modern sports hall, as well as the original building and our new building created in 2016. Our school grounds have been transformed over the past few years, to include a dedicated playground, running track, climbing frame, outdoor gym and a superb timber trail. We are always looking at new and interesting ways to develop the grounds we have to ensure children have every opportunity to take learning beyond the classroom.
We are proud of our caring ethos which aims to give each child the opportunity to develop their strengths and interests within and beyond the school day.
