The Avenue School, The Avenue, Warminster
The Avenue School was built in 1931 and was the first new school to be built in Warminster for over a century. Harold Nelson Dewey, who had previously been the headmaster of the Close School became the headmaster of the Avenue School from the time it opened until his retirement from teaching in 1953.
When Kingdown Secondary Modern School (now Kingdown Comprehensive School) opened in June 1960 it had already become outgrown by the increase in population of Warminster, so the Avenue School was used as an annexe for Kingdown until Kingdown was enlarged in 1968. The Avenue School then became a primary school for younger pupils.
