Welcome
The AO has been a centre of excellence in Worcester for the education of girls from 2½ to 18 since its foundation in 1883. The girls here enjoy a rewarding and challenging environment where they are prepared for a future where problem-solving and decision-making, healthy relationships, confidence and continuing learning are all vital to a fulfilling life.
The school is large enough to provide a wide range of opportunities both in and out of the curriculum, but it is small enough for everyone to cherish the family and community spirit and for each girl to enjoy individual support and attention. We hope that through this site you gain some sense of the energy, enthusiasm and ethos of our remarkable school.
This is the first step in finding out about the AO. As Headmistress, I look forward to meeting you and to working with you in partnership to provide the best educational opportunities for your daughter.
Morag Chapman, Headmistress
Junior School
AO Junior School is situated a few minutes walk from the Senior School in a large Georgian house surrounded by gardens and playing fields. The school aims to establish strong academic foundations within a warm, friendly and supportive environment.
Senior School
Girls start in the Senior School in year 6 and carry through to the end of year 11. In year 6, the girls have pastoral care appropriate for their age and follow a primary school curriculum, while benefiting from Senior School facilities and specialist teaching.
Sixth Form
The AO has a dynamic and effective Sixth Form in which students flourish and mature into confident young women. The Sixth Form has its own recently refurbished centre, close to the Senior School.
