With good road and rail links we are a little under two hours from London by train and within easy reach of Bath, Bristol and Salisbury.We believe that it is our sense of community, mutual support and a happy atmosphere that set us apart. Almost everyone who visits comments on it; it is a vital feature of the School and one that we cherish. It is genuine, authentic and impossible to contrive.Pastoral care is the most important aspect of any school: a child who is happy and feels secure, valued and supported can flourish and Warminster is committed to providing such an environment. Every child is part of a small tutor group and the role of the tutor is key: he or she acts as the champion of his or her tutees. Living and learning with each other requires good social skills and we also place strong emphasis on the importance of 'social learning': qualities such as tolerance, patience and resilience.Warminster is a beautiful school, but schools are not, first and foremost, about buildings and facilities but about people and relationships. Pupils typically get involved in a wide range of activities: our rugby, hockey and tennis players take lead roles in the school mu-
