Preparing to Join King’s Worcester
If you are joining us in Year 7, you will now have received an invitation to our Induction Evening on Thursday 2nd July 2026. This event is designed to help you begin to feel at home at King’s. You will have the opportunity to tour the campus, meet your tutors, and ask any questions you may have ahead of joining us in September.
All new pupils will also be invited to join us for an Induction Day on the day before the Autumn Term begins, before all other pupils return to school. This will be a valuable opportunity to settle in whilst the school campus is a little quieter and become familiar with your new surroundings ahead of the first full day of school.
If you are joining us in Year 8, a member of the Admissions Team will be in touch during the Summer Term to invite you to join us for another visit to King’s, so that you too can feel confident and prepared ahead of joining us in September. You will also be invited to attend an Induction Day just before the start of the Autumn Term, offering another opportunity to meet your new teachers and begin forming friendships with some of your new classmates.
