The History Department at Warminster School aims to enthuse and educate all students in the exciting events that shape our world today. We take an active approach to learning and encourage students to think, evaluate and share their ideas. History students at Warminster School certainly take note of Flaubert’s warning, and we openly question the major debates of our time.

The History Department is located on the first floor of Weymouth House, and its suite of rooms are equipped with up-to-date technology and resources.
