About
The school was founded in 1996, when RGS Worcester purchased a traditional English farmhouse in Claines named “The Grange”. It opened to just twenty pupils at the time, but soon other parts of the RGS prep school moved from the senior school site to the Grange. By early 2004, all of the prep school was located at the Grange.
Facilities at the school were upgraded in the early 2000s with a £4.5 million development of the buildings. The build was completed ahead of schedule.
The Grange has wide-ranging sporting facilities, set in 50 acres (200,000 m2) of maintained pitches and playing fields. It also has an astro-turf for hockey.
The current headmaster, Mr Gareth Hughes, took the role in September 2009.
The school has four houses: Cash (Green), Perowne (Yellow), Cornwall (Red), and Goodrich (Blue).
During 2008 the school formed linkages with the community departments of Worcester Warriors Rugby Club and Aston Villa Football Club.
