Encouraging excellence

  • All Scholarships may be supplemented by Bursary funding up to 100% remission of fees
  • All external non-academic Scholarship candidates will also be required to perform satisfactorily in the relevant academic Entrance Examination
  • Pupils awarded Scholarships will retain them throughout their careers at RGS Worcester subject to good performance, positive behaviour and demonstrating a commitment to the School
  • All Scholars are expected to show leadership and loyalty to the School. School practices, rehearsals, events and fixtures must, therefore, be prioritised over external events or club matches

Bursary details

If you are applying to RGS Worcester and are concerned about the School fees, the School does offer the opportunity to apply for a Bursary. This is funding of up to 100% of the full School fee provided by the School and is means-tested (i.e. the amount of funding is calculated based on parents’ own financial circumstances). Bursaries are awarded to pupils based on their performance in the School’s Entrance Examination.

A significant number of pupils at RGS Worcester are able to attend the School as a result of receiving a means-tested Bursary and/or Scholarship. A pupil offered a Scholarship may also receive a Bursary to provide extra assistance with School fees.

If you would like further information about how RGS Worcester can support your application for a place for your child through a means-tested Bursary, then please contact the Registrar.
