The Royal Grammar School Worcester (operating as The RGS Worcester Family of Schools) is an independent educational charity in Worcestershire providing schooling for pupils aged 2 to 18. Tracing its origins back to 1291 and a Royal Charter granted by Queen Elizabeth I in 1561, the modern school group was established in 2007 following the merger of The Royal Grammar School Worcester and The Alice Ottley School, before expanding further in 2019 through its merger with Dodderhill School. Today, the group comprises a flagship co-educational senior school in Worcester, a country preparatory school, a specialist girls' school in Droitwich Spa, and three dedicated nursery settings, all governed by a single board of trustees to provide a cohesive educational pathway across the West Midlands.
