Worth School, Turners Hill:
Located in Turners Hill, West Sussex, just 50 km from London, Worth School is a Benedictine (Catholic) boarding and day school catering for boys and girls between the ages of 11 and 18. Boarding Programmes are available for boys from Year 7 (age 11) upwards, and for girls as of Year 9 (age 13). Students who come to Worth have the opportunity to grow into young men and women who know what it means to belong and the importance of mutual respect and concern for others.

- The boarding experience at Worth aims to develop the academic, cultural and physical talents of each individual within a community which places the highest possible value on mutual respect and tolerance.  Worth School caters for boys and girls aged 11-18. Boys as of year 7 and for girls as of year 9 can choose to board at Worth School.

- There are three boarding Houses for boys in Years 7 to 12: Butler, Rutherford and St Bede's; and one House for Year 13 boys: Gervase. Boarding (from Year 9) and day girls occupy the newly developed St Mary's House.

- Being a boarder enables students to make the most of the school’s facilities, many of which are open in the evenings. Our flexible weekend policy allows students either to go home after classes or sporting fixtures on a Saturday or to remain in school where a number of activities are offered. There is a thriving activity programme in place on Sundays and pupils are able to take part in a variety of pursuits from paintballing to quad-biking.

- Each boarding House has its own unique family atmosphere. In the lower Years, students share dormitories/rooms, whilst students in the Sixth Form have individual study bedrooms.

If you are looking for a school in which your son or daughter will be able to achieve both academically and in other ways, you have found it in Worth.

There is a diverse and wide-ranging programme of events and activities outside the curriculum for students and Worth, both day and boarding. These opportunities occur throughout the week and at the weekend a social programme is offered, designed to offer a relaxing and reflective environment.

Weekends at Worth are designed to offer relaxation and reflection alongside trips to cultural places and activity centres.
