UK private school named best-value independent establishment in county by Telegraph

An independent school in Worcester has been recognised as the best-value independent school in the county.

RGS Worcester received a ‘Very Good’ rating in a new guide by The Daily Telegraph, which compares independent schools using measures such as academic performance, facilities, fees, and comparisons with state schools.

It was the only school in Worcestershire to achieve this rating.

John Pitt, headmaster of RGS Worcester, said: “We are delighted that RGS Worcester has been recognised by The Daily Telegraph with a ‘Very Good’ rating.

“Choosing an independent school is one of the most important decisions a family makes, and parents rightly want to know they are investing in an education that delivers outstanding opportunities and genuine value.

“Independent recognition such as this reflects the quality of education our pupils experience every day, combining academic excellence with exceptional pastoral care, an extensive co-curricular programme and innovative teaching that prepares young people for the future.”

2026 has been a successful year for RGS, which was also named Independent Senior School of the Year at the Tes Awards.
