Success in the Independent School of the Year Awards 2025

The King’s Worcester Foundation is thrilled to announce that both King’s Worcester and King’s Hawford have been shortlisted in this year’s Independent School of the Year (ISOTY) Awards.

King’s Worcester Senior School has again been shortlisted for the Co-Educational School of the Year Award, having been finalists for the last three years.

Prep School, King’s Hawford has also been shortlisted for Prep School of the Year, again for the fourth year running.

The Independent School of the Year awards showcase independent school success stories and celebrate outstanding educational experiences provided to pupils.

It has been a successful year for King’s, following its glowing ISI report. It was also named in the Sunday Times Top 10 in the West Midlands for academic results for the fourth consecutive year, and in top 4% in the UK for sport, as well as being a finalist in the Muddy Stilettos Awards for its commitment to preparing pupils for life beyond King’s.

Being shortlisted for these national awards, and appearing alongside some of the UKs largest and most reputable independent schools, reflects the hard work and dedication of both staff and pupils.

We look forward to hearing the results of the next stage of the awards in September, when the finalists are announced.
