King’s Worcester has been recognised among the UK’s top rugby schools for the second year running.
The school has been included among Which School Advisor’s “Top UK Schools for Rugby” for the second time.
This recognition was given for a programme that provides opportunities for broad participation and clear pathways to academy, professional, and international rugby.
Ten of the school’s pupils are currently involved in senior academies while recent Sixth Form students, Henry H and Will D, both secured professional contracts after their A-levels earlier this year.
Several King’s players have been called up for under-18 or under-21 level in recent years, representing countries such as England, Germany, and Jamaica.
Current students are also part of younger age-group academy programmes in Gloucester, Coventry, and Worcester.
Participation remains central to rugby at King’s.
Each season about 300 boys from under-12 to 1st XV teams play in more than 200 competitive fixtures , with teams ranging from A to D level.
Foundation Director of Sport, Jonny Mason, said: “Our rugby programme provides genuine pathways for players to progress to academy, county, and national levels, highlighting the dedication of our players, the expertise of our coaching staff, and our strong culture of development and teamwork.
“At the same time, we ensure every pupil enjoys the game and develops their skills at their own pace within a supportive environment.”
