History[]
The modern Highworth Warneford was established in 1975, replacing Warneford Secondary Modern School which was established in 1957. The main buildings from the original school are still in use. There have been constant expansions of the school ever since, including the addition of a sports hall.[1]
In 2011, the school was awarded specialist status as a Technology College.

At its March 2018 Ofsted inspection the school was assessed as "Requires Improvement",[3] a deterioration from the 2013 rating of "Good".[4]
