Warnborough College - 50 Years of Academic Innovation and Achievements

Warnborough 50th Anniversary

Who'd Have Thought It?

Wow… we have come a long way since we were founded in Oxford in 1973.  It is all of YOU we have to thank – for your support, your love, and your own efforts to learn and improve.

Because of you, we had to keep changing, improving, and creating.  Because of you, we soldiered on.

We celebrated our big birthday last year, and here are some videos that were made to commemorate this.

Warnborough, As Remembered By Its People

We have been fortunate to have had so many wonderful people with us over the last 50 years. 

These are people who have influenced us, inspired us, and helped us to become who we are today.

Here are some of the key people who tell their Warnborough stories in their own words.
