About this cluster
Within the Warminster Cluster there are 13 schools (local authority maintained and academies) in the 2021-22 academic year – 1 secondary and 12 primaries.
The majority of the clusters’ schools are situated in urban areas, with 5 of the primary phase schools in rural villages. 6 of the primary phase schools are ‘small schools’ (fewer than 120 children on roll).
