PERSHORE HIGH SCHOOL

What PERSHORE HIGH SCHOOL does

Pershore High School is a state-funded secondary school located on Station Road, Pershore, Worcestershire (WR10 2BX), operating as a member of the Avonreach Academy Trust. It delivers a full secondary education programme covering Key Stage 3, Key Stage 4 (GCSE), and a Sixth Form offering A-Level courses, serving students aged 11–18 (Years 7–13) drawn primarily from the Pershore area and surrounding Worcestershire communities. The curriculum is broad, spanning Art and Design, Business and Economics, Computer Science and Media Studies, English, Humanities, Mathematics, Modern Languages, Physical Education and Sport, Performing Arts, PSHE/Citizenship/Ethics/Careers, Psychology, Science, and Technology/Food and Nutrition/Child Development, supplemented by enrichment programmes including the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme, the Aspire Programme for competitive university applicants, instrumental music lessons, and a structured work experience programme at Year 12.

The business model is overwhelmingly government-funded: tuition is provided free at the point of use, with student admissions administered through the Worcestershire local authority's standard catchment-based process and a separate entry process for the Sixth Form. Supplementary, non-grant income is generated from facility hire to community groups, instrumental music lessons, school trips and visits, and catering. The school is governed under the Avonreach Academy Trust, which provides shared governance, pooled resources, and standardised policies across its member schools; there is no private equity, no public listing, and no disclosed funding rounds. Engagement with prospective and current families is delivered through a multi-channel approach combining the school website, a Facebook page, regular newsletters, and a public calendar of events and term dates.
