Worth School, in the village of Turners Hill, Crawley, West Sussex, England is a boarding and day school for boys aged between 11-18 years. The school is located alongside Worth Abbey, a Benedictine monastery with which it has a close relationship. As of 2005 the school has some 305 boarders and 150 day students.
Worth aims to provide a broad education and a balanced lifestyle that is rooted in the Benedictine tradition, and the headmaster has stated that "the pursuit of qualifications as the principal purpose of education is in danger of swamping all other objectives".
History of Worth
Before Worth became a Day School in 1963, it was the country estate of Lord Cowdray. There are currently seven houses: Austin, Butler, Chapman, Farwell, Gervase, Rutherford and St. Bedes, which all compete to win house cups.
