More about entry from our guide

For Years 4 to 6 the school lists three assessment days for September 2027 entry, one in each term; the first, in the Michaelmas term, has already passed. The school does not publish a registration deadline or offer date on its website, and we will add them when it does.

This page covers entry to RGS The Grange only. Its senior school, Royal Grammar School Worcester, has its own page.
