Head’s Welcome

It gives me great pleasure to offer you the warmest of welcomes to King’s Worcester.

This is a remarkable community – one that holds fast to its heritage while looking confidently to the future. At King’s, we bring together tradition and progress, excellence and care, ambition and humility.

For nearly five centuries, young people have found here a place where their potential is nurtured and their horizons expanded. Through every change in history, King’s has continued to flourish – not by standing still, but by moving forward with momentum and purpose.

Our setting is inspiring – at the very heart of Worcester, with the Cathedral and the River Severn shaping our daily life. The mix of historic spaces alongside modern facilities reflects both continuity and innovation.

What makes King’s truly special, though, are the people – staff and pupils. This is a school where we work hard, play hard, and look after each other. Academic excellence is a given, but so too is the breadth of opportunity: on the stage, on the river, on the sports field, through music, drama, outdoor pursuits and so much more. Above all, it is a place of care and kindness, where every child is known, supported, and encouraged to flourish.

King’s is a community alive with energy, rooted in its history yet always moving forward. My hope for every pupil is that they see each year as a chance to push themselves, to discover new talents, and to grow in confidence and character. That sense of forward momentum – of always learning, always growing – is what makes King’s Worcester such an inspiring place to learn and to work.

Whilst our website gives you an insight into our community, please do come and see us and experience all that we have to offer.
