The Senior School Difference

The Senior School Difference

Warwick School is an award-winning, independent boys’ day and boarding school. 

 
Our Senior School is a place where academic ambition is matched by a deep commitment to character education. Here, boys are encouraged not only to achieve highly, but to grow into confident, grounded and compassionate young men who are ready to make a meaningful contribution to the world.

where character shapes achievement

At the heart of our philosophy is The Warwick Way: a set of values and behaviours that defines who we are and how we learn. It guides pupils to be curious, courageous, kind and resilient – that shape their experience at school and prepare them for life well beyond it. These values are woven into daily school life, from the classroom and co-curricular activities to pastoral care and leadership opportunities.

Our approach to character education is purposeful and immersive. Pupils are encouraged to:

  • Challenge themselves academically and personally
  • Develop independence and take responsibility for their learning
  • Show leadership and service within the school community
  • Demonstrate integrity, respect and empathy in everything they do
  • Embrace creativity, collaboration and critical thinking

This holistic approach ensures that every boy experiences a Senior School journey that is enriching, balanced and genuinely transformative.

A community with wide horizons

Most of our Junior School pupils continue their journey with us into Senior School, where they are joined by boys from over 200 primary and preparatory schools. This rich mix of backgrounds and experiences helps create a vibrant, welcoming community where every pupil can find his place.


Entry points and opportunities

While the main entry point is 11+, we also welcome pupils at 12+, 13+ and 16+.

To ensure talented boys can thrive here, the school offers a range of scholarships and bursaries, with around one in four pupils receiving financial assistance

a supportive start

Starting a new school is a big step—for pupils and for parents. That’s why we put extensive support in place long before the first day of term.

New Parents’ Morning (June): Families hear from the Head Master, the Head of Year 7 and senior staff about academic life, pastoral care and co-curricular opportunities.

Moving Up Day: New Year 7 pupils get to know their classmates, explore the campus and enjoy activities such as music, drama and sport, alongside practical introductions to timetables, registration and the library.

For pupils joining at other entry points, we arrange personalised introductions, including a meeting with their Form Tutor, ensuring every boy feels confident and ready for the journey ahead.
