International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme:
The International Baccalaureate Diploma is offered as an alternative to A levels in our thriving sixth form. It provides a range of academic choices within a challenging and stimulating curriculum, together with a wide variety of activities relating to creativity, action and service. The Diploma Programme epitomises the holistic approach to education for which Warminster School is so well known and valued.

AS and A2 qualifications (A Levels):
A Levels are based on six units of approximately equal size. Three of these make up an Advanced Subsidiary (AS) course, representing the first half of an advanced level course of study. The other three are known as A2, representing the second half of the A Level. The AS examination is harder than GCSE, but easier than A Level. The A2 units are more challenging than the AS units. Pupils will be expected to study four subjects to AS standard. Exceptionally a pupil may choose to study five AS subjects. These subjects will normally be examined in the Summer Term of the Lower Sixth, and pupils can gain AS qualifications at this stage if they do not intend to continue that subject in the Upper Sixth.

Brockhurst and Marlston House Schools, Berkshire

Courses / Programs

Brockhurst and Marlston House Schools are twin day and boarding schools that share the same estate at Marlston, Hermitage in the Berkshire countryside. Brockhurst teaches boys from six to thirteen years of age, while Marlston House teaches girls of the same age.

Boys and girls are taught together in our vibrant co-educational pre-prep school (ages 3-6). From Year 2 they are taught separately in small, single-sex classes. We believe this is the best system for developing their academic potential.

Boys and girls continue to mix for the many social and extracurricular activities we provide. At the age of thirteen, their classes are combined again in preparation for the Common Entrance exams.

At Brockhurst and Marlston House Schools, we aim to provide a first-class, unique education in a disciplined and happy, family environment. Both schools offer a broad curriculum, which includes art, drama, music, and an exciting variety of other activities. This breadth is reflected in the range of scholarships achieved.

Approximately 1.25 hours drive west of London, our schools are situated in a magnificent Jacobean style mansion set in 500 acres of stunning Berkshire countryside. Our mission is to develop enthusiastic, self-confident and well-mannered girls and boys with enquiring minds.
