The Alice Ottley School

Founded in 1883 as the Worcester High School for Girls and renamed in 1914 after its first Headmistress. It has a fine site in the middle of the cathedral city. The main building is a splendid Georgian mansion, in delightful grounds. New buildings have been added steadily over the last hundred years, and the school is now well equipped with a new resource centre, technology suite, performing arts studio and sixth-form centre. It adheres to Church of England traditions, but is ecumenical in spirit and practice. The junior school, Springfield, is nearby. Academic standards are high and examination results are very good. Music and drama are strongly supported and half the senior girls have individual tuition in instruments; there are two orchestras, smaller instrumental groups and three choirs. A wide range of drama is presented each year, often in conjunction with the neighbouring boys' school. There are good facilities for a standard range of sports and games; levels of performance are high, especially in lacrosse and athletics (representatives at county and national level in both). There is a plentiful variety of extra-curricular activities, including archery and judo, and many girls take part successfully in the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme. There are regular theatre visits to Stratford, Birmingham and London and much use is made of the cultural facilities of Worcester (particularly in connection with festivals and other events at the cathedral).
