The Curriculum
Worth offers a broad and balanced curriculum including GCSE and pre-IB, and the choice of A-levels or the IB in the Sixth Form.
Games & the Arts
There is a dynamic arts, drama and music scene with a vibrant programme of exhibitions, concerts, productions and excursions. As well as mainstream sports there are 21 others on offer such as horse riding, sailing and golf.
Pastoral Care
Each pupil is a member of a house and has a personal tutor who monitors progress and assists the housemaster/housemistress. The house support structure also includes a matron. Parents are integral to the school; there are regular points of contact such as parent-teacher consultations, social events and active support from the ‘Friends of Worth’ Parent Association.
University Places
Students go on to study at world-class institutions including Oxford, Cambridge, Durham, St Andrews and UCL as well as international destinations across US and Europe. Every Worthian remains part of the community long after they leave, enjoying the benefits of our ‘Worth Society’ alumni association which offers career mentoring, networking and internships as well as sports, music and social events.
Head Teacher’s Philosophy
At the same time as being an academically selective school, we take nothing for granted; we work hard to nurture every individual pupil’s desire to do well and enjoy being at school, and to ultimately find through personal exploration their own particular direction in life.
