Warminster School pupils celebrate Summer Arts Festival

More than 200 pupils at Warminster School celebrated the end of term during this year’s Summer Creative Arts Festival, with a variety of activities to spark creativity.

With 18 new workshops this year including percussion, collage making and Warhammer, Year 7 to 10 and Lower Sixth pupils all tried something new, discovered hidden talents and joined together across different age groups to have fun.

Popular workshops included parkour, kitchen chemistry, dance, stage combat and balloon-making.

The ‘Three Witty Fools’ theatre group of three pupils also took to the stage for the final time before leaving Warminster – and performed their sell-out show from last summer’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

Assistant Head Nicola Rogers said, “A real highlight this year was seeing some of the workshops organised and led by pupils themselves, showing their leadership, initiative and passion for the arts.

“It was also particularly heartening to see the different age groups working so well together, showing courage, and most importantly, having fun!”

Year 8 pupil Adds Addison said, “The Summer Festival is so much fun. I loved the choices of things we could do – I found it really hard to choose just a few options. My favourite was pyrography because I learned a new skill that you wouldn’t normally do at school. Some of the productions were great too, especially the Three Witty Fools, it was so funny!”
