Royal Grammar School Worcester

The Royal Grammar School Worcester (also known as RGS Worcester or RGSW) is an independent coeducational school in Worcester, England. Founded before 1291, it is one of the oldest British independent schools.
In September 2007, it merged with the neighbouring Alice Ottley School and was briefly known as RGS Worcester and the Alice Ottley School before reverting to its original name, although the School began accepting girls in 2003 prior to the merger. The school now consists of the main senior school and two preparatory campuses known as Springfield (previously of Alice Ottley School)〔(RGS Springfield - History )〕 and The Grange (opened 1996).〔(RGS The Grange - History )〕
Until 1992 it accepted boarders who resided in Whiteladies House, a building that is rumoured to contain hidden treasure from Charles I from when he sought refuge there during the Civil War.〔Wheeler, A R. ''Royal Grammar School Worcester, 1950 to 1991 with retrospect to 1291'', Royal Grammar School Worcester, 1991. ISBN 0-9516775-0-0〕 It is now a day school.
Tracing its origins back to the 7th century, the school is the sixth oldest school in the world.
==History==

The school was originally founded as a secular monastic school in Worcester in around 685 by Bishop Bosel. This makes it the 6th oldest school in the world. It was located outside the monastic precincts (as with the King's School, Canterbury) and catered for the relatives of monks and children intending to go into the monastery. The first written reference to the school appears in 1265 when the Bishop of Worcester, Walter de Cantilupe, sent four chaplains into the city to teach.〔Follet, F. V. ''History of the Worcester Royal Grammar School'', Ebenezer Bayliss, Trinity Press, 1950.〕
Conclusive evidence appears in 1291 when an argument was settled by Bishop Godfrey Giffard regarding who owned the wax from the candles used at the feast of St Swithun. It was decided that the scholars of the Worcester School owned it, and the Rector of Saint Nicholas Church had to rely on the generosity of the scholars in order to get candle wax. The headmaster is mentioned as Stephen of London. The letter dated December 1291 is in the County Records Office in Worcester.
The next headmaster was appointed in 1312 as Hugh of Northampton as recorded in the Bishop's register for that year. He was appointed personally by the Bishop of Worcester, Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Chancellor Walter Reynolds. The school continued to exist under the control of the city guilds through the centuries with various records of headmasters being appointed, again listed in the registers of the bishops of Worcester. One in particular was 'Sir Richard (Chaplain)', who was dismissed by the bishop of Worcester, Philip Morgan, in 1422 for taking money from the scholars for his own use. He was replaced the same year by Sir John Bredel. Sir Richard Pynnington was appointed in 1485 and is known to have given money to the Archbishop of Canterbury's fund , showing the strong connection of the school with the church.
