How to Apply

The Worth application process is uniquely personal, designed to ensure that both parents and School are able to get to know each other, and to make as informed a decision as possible.

Boys and girls join Worth either at ages 11+ (Year 7), at 13+ (Year 9) or at 16+ (Year 12). Worth also admits a small number of pupils at age 15+ (Year 11) into a one-year IGCSE/Pre-IB course, and a few places occasionally become available for boys and girls for admission at age 12+ (Year 8) or at 14+ (Year 10). Late applicants should contact the Admissions department directly.

Our Frequently Asked Questions page provides a lot of information which may help prospective families.

We visited many schools and Worth was by far the best in terms of genuine kindness. Your daughter won’t be left out. It’s very inclusive and the staff are really caring and approachable. _{Posted on Mumsnet}
