About Kingdown School

Believe. Aspire. Achieve.

Kingdown School is a co-educational, non-denominational secondary school, educating young people between the ages of 11 and 18 years. Located in the charming garrison town of Warminster, Wiltshire, we have a strong reputation in the local community and beyond, built on an unswerving focus on the quality of teaching and learning and great pastoral care. 

Our school has a large and friendly team who are dedicated to helping each and every young person achieve their full potential. In 2022, we retained our ‘Good’ Ofsted rating and were praised for our strong moral leadership and for the wide range of opportunities that we have on offer to support students with their broader development. 

As a founding member of Acorn Education Trust in 2014, we work closely with other schools within the Trust to provide the best possible education, opportunities and support for our young people, who are always at the heart of our decision making.

Our well-resourced school has a wide range of excellent facilities, including: 

  • Sports fields, netball courts, tennis courts, astro turf pitches, a gym and sports hall; 
  • Dance and drama studios;
  • Interactive whiteboards and projectors in classrooms;
  • Computer suites in most teaching areas;
  • A dedicated sixth form building and suite of rooms;
  • A large hall with full AV system and a stage for productions, events and concerts;
  • An open-plan library with a wide range of reading materials; 
  • Subject area suites for science, design technology and art;
  • Enhanced provision via our Link and Learning and Welfare Hub, plus a Behaviour Hub.

In a recent survey, 95% of our staff said they enjoyed working at Kingdown and felt well supported here – we value everyone at Kingdown.
