RGS Worcester is an academically selective Independent day School that can trace its origins to 685 making it the sixth oldest school in the world. In 1950 it became a state-funded grammar school in the 11+ system. In 1983 it reverted to Independent status and in 2002 it became co-educational. In 2007 the journey to a fully mixed school was completed with the merger between RGS Worcester and its neighbour, The Alice Ottley School (AOS) for girls. Today it is fully co-educational, comprising prep school(RGS The Grange), RGS Worcester and RGS Dodderhill Girls Senior School and Nurseries (RGS Springfield, RGS The Grange, RGS Dodderhill). It educates children from 2-18 years old and provides a vibrant co-curricular programme of Sport, Drama, Art, Music, Debating, CCF and DofE alongside academic studies. The Headmaster is John Pitt. There is a large, vibrant alumni community that actively supports the School with careers advice for pupils. The RGS Worcester Careers Service has been recognised by the local Chamber of Commerce for its links with employers. Voluntary donations from alumni continue to expand the bursary programme which provides means-tested fee remission to families who would not otherwise be able to consider RGS Worcester for their children. In June 2017 The RGSW and AOS Foundation was established to facilitate fundraising activities and to manage alumni relations, both of which had been handled by the Development Office since 2012. Careers support and voluntary giving complement a wide range of social gatherings that alumni enjoy each year in Worcester and London. Open Days are held each September and January. Prospective pupils and parents are welcome to visit the School outside of these events by making an appointment with the Registrar. Job vacancies are advertised on the School website.
