| Introduction Welcome to the International Baccalaureate at Warminster School
The International Baccalaureate is offered as an alternative to A levels in our thriving sixth form. It provides a range of academic choices, a challenging and stimulating curriculum as well as a comprehensive programme of personal development. The Diploma programme complements the holistic approach to education for which Warminster is so well known and valued.

| The Diploma Programme
‘Theory of Knowledge’ presents students with opportunities to develop analytical skills, delving into the kaleidoscope of learning and understanding. The ‘Extended Essay’ allows each student to investigate a subject of their choice and produce independent research that is held in high regard by universities and colleges. ‘Creativity, Action and Service’ offer students vital aspects of holistic personal development through a wide range of opportunities, which enhance the academic curriculum. Our CAS coordinator is Ms Nia Davies. CAS students become involved in a wide range of activities at Warminster School.
Warminster School staged 'Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat' after only 24 hours rehearsal raising funds for the California Tour. IB music candidate Mike Patterson took the lead role and all other Music IB students took promary roles in the production.
