matravers school
Westbury
Matravers School is a large, traditional 11-18 school pleasantly situated in the
centre of the market town of Westbury. We occupy a very large, spacious 13-acre
site. The school buildings are of mixed age, blending traditional with more
modern buildings. Recently the school has benefited from state-of-the-art
additions including: an £8.5million STEM (Science, maths, technology) Centre in
2019; a £1.5million upgrade to our English and Humanities block in 2020; a new
Dance and Music block added in 2000; a Sports Hall and Dining Hall added in
2004; a Drama block added in 2008; and a new Sixth Form block added in 2012.
Technology plays a central part in our school and we benefit from a range of
technology and teaching facilities throughout the school. On-site facilities
include specialist accommodation for Technology, Art and Ceramics and
Photography. There is one large gymnasium for Physical Education alongside a new
Sports Centre and a purpose-built fitness suite. The Sports Centre is also used
by the community in the evenings. There are a separate Music and Drama building
with specialised Dance Studios and Music Performance and Practice rooms.
Specialised Science laboratories enable the School to offer a full programme in
Science to every student. Our brand new Sixth Form building opened in 2012 to
accommodate our Sixth Form offering an exciting and modern learning environment.
Further significant investment in the school has led to: re-housing and updating
our library provision; creating an upgraded Food Technology area; refurbishing
our main teaching block; re-decorating our Music block; creating our "Outdoor
Education" facility; creating our Allotment; upgrading our Inclusion facilities;
installation of a "Fitness Suite".
