Kings Worcester maintains its crown as one of the best independent schools in West Midlands

KING’S Worcester is proving a dab hand at ranking high in school league tables.

It has once again been named in the prestigious Sunday Times’ Parent Power 2025 Schools guide as one of the top ten independent secondary schools in the West Midlands.

Ranked for their academic excellence against some of the country’s 900 secondary schools, King’s appears in ninth position and is the only independent school in Worcestershire to have been ranked for four consecutive years.

Acting head, Dr Alison Oliver, said: “King’s Worcester is delighted to be recognised for its academic excellence. Last year’s examination series saw 41 per cent of all GCSE grades – secured by 151 Year 11 students – being awarded at Grades 8 and 9. It is no understatement to say that we were thrilled with their hard work and success. At A Level, with 134 students in the year group sitting over 400 A Levels, 25 per cent of students achieving all A or A* grades is a standout achievement.’’
