Viewed from the edge of Bath Road in early November 2014. Named after Alderman George Ward, JP, of Melksham, who was involved in local public affairs for over 50 years, the school replaced Shurnhold Secondary School. George Ward School has now closed, replaced by the new Melksham Oak Community School at Bowerhill on the SE side of town. A nearby board shows that the 12.7 hectares (31.4 acres) site has been sold for residential development.
