Warminster School Colours

Colours are awarded in four key areas of school life: Academic; Arts; Community and Sport. At the end of each term during Celebration Assembly a Colours certificate and badge be awarded to those pupils who have met the following criteria:

Academic:

Academic Colours are awarded to pupils who have shown excellent commitment to their studies. They will have demonstrated effort, determination and a willingness to embrace academic challenges. They may have had significant success during the term, but this will be based on personal progress and attainment rather than just on grades achieved.

Arts:

Arts Colours are awarded to pupils who have shown commitment and enthusiasm for the Arts outside the classroom. They may be the pupils we see on our stage, in our concert hall or whose artwork graces our walls. They will have gone the extra mile and will have demonstrated a real passion for their subject.

Community:

Community Colours are awarded to pupils who have shown outstanding commitment and made a significant contribution to the life of the school. They may be the pupils who have contributed significantly from a House perspective, led initiatives, assemblies, or represented Warminster outside the school. They will have gone the extra mile and will have demonstrated Warminster School values in action.

Sport:

Sports colours are awarded to pupils who represent the school in the major games or who have been selected for representative honours regionally or beyond in other sports. They will have shown commitment throughout the season to both practice and fixtures. They will have demonstrated a positive sporting attitude on all occasions, both in practice and matches and are a positive role model both in and out of school. They may also have shown the ability to be a ‘game changer’ in terms of ability/performance.

School Colours: 

School Colours are awarded to Year 13 pupils at Speech Day to recognise true excellence (attitude/commitment/attainment), performance at the highest level and/or sustained outstanding contribution in one or more of the key areas outlined above.

Level of Awards:

There are three levels of Colours: Bronze, Silver and Gold. Usually Bronze Colours will be awarded to pupils in Years 7-9, Silver in Years 10 and 11, and Gold in the Sixth Form.
