The King's School, Worcester (also known as King's Worcester or KSW, archaically ''Worcester Cathedral Grammar School'' or ''Worcester Cathedral King's School'') is an English independent school refounded by Henry VIII in 1541. It occupies a site adjacent to Worcester Cathedral on the banks of the River Severn in the centre of the city of Worcester. It offers mixed-sex mainstream education that follows the UK National Curriculum to around 1,465 pupils aged 2 to 18. At age 11, approximately two thirds of pupils join the senior school from its two primary schools, King's Hawford and King's St Albans, while others come from maintained schools in the city of Worcester and the surrounding areas that include Malvern, Redditch, Kidderminster and Pershore.〔(ISI report October 2005 ). Retrieved 28 July 2009.〕 ==Campuses== The King's, Worcester group consists of three different schools. These are: *King's Hawford: (ages 2–11, c.320 pupils), formerly an autonomous fee-paying prep school named Hawford Lodge, purchased by King's in 1992, situated north of central Worcester. Hawford's Kindergarten department was deemed sufficiently impressive by Ofsted to receive no recommendations in the 2008 inspection.〔(2008 Hawford Kindergarten Ofsted Report ).〕 *King's St Alban's: (ages 4–11, c.215 pupils), formerly the Cathedral Choir School, amalgamated with King's in 1943, situated adjacent to the senior school. St Alban's includes a pre-prep department for ages 4–7, opened September 2009. *King's Worcester: (ages 11–18, c.930 pupils), the senior school. The senior school is situated on Worcester's College Green, a space between Worcester Cathedral and the east bank of the River Severn. Many of the school's buildings on the Green are leased from the cathedral, including College Hall (formerly the monastic refectory, for many years the school's only teaching hall, and currently an assembly hall) and Edgar Tower, the medieval gatehouse to College Green, which for many years housed the school library. The school and the cathedral maintain a close relationship, with the school providing cathedral choristers and enjoying the use of the cathedral for major services. The most senior members of school staff, the cathedral choristers, and the school's King's and Queen's Scholars are ''ex officio'' members of the cathedral foundation, while the school is required by statute to have the cathedral Dean and Chapter represented on its governing body. The school owns extensive land next to New Road cricket ground across the river, used as sports pitches and fields. The school also owns an outward bound centre, the ''Old Chapel'' near Crickhowell in Mid Wales.〔(The Old Chapel ). Ksw.org.uk.
