How to Apply
Admissions
A uniquely personal application process.
The Worth application process is uniquely personal, designed to ensure that both parents and School are able to get to know each other, and to make as informed a decision as possible.
Boys and girls join Worth either at ages 11+ (Year 7), at 13+ (Year 9) or at 16+ (Year 12). Worth also admits a small number of pupils at age 15+ (Year 11) into a one-year IGCSE/Pre-IB course, and a few places occasionally become available for boys and girls for admission at age 12+ (Year 8) or at 14+ (Year 10). Late applicants should contact the Admissions department directly.
Age 11+ (Year 7) September 2027
Registered candidates who do not already have a CAT4 score are invited to attend an Assessment Day at Worth in November prior to their year of entry, during which they will sit the CAT4 entrance assessments.
For candidates who have already completed CAT4 testing, we will request a copy of their results directly from their current school together with a reference and they will not be required to retake the assessments.

Admission at 13+ is based on CAT4 assessments, which are taken either at a candidate’s current school or at Worth School. Where a candidate has already completed CAT4 testing, we will request a copy of their results together with a reference from their current school.

We visited many schools and Worth was by far the best in terms of genuine kindness. Your daughter won’t be left out. It’s very inclusive and the staff are really caring and approachable. Posted on Mumsnet
