A second branch of the award winning, holistic and music specialist school opening January 2026

20/08/2026

CONGRATULATIONS GCSE CLASS OF ‘26

We’re incredibly proud of our students and all of the hard work they put into making this exam series such a success for them.

As a music specialist school, we’re delighted with a 100% pass rate across GCSE and BTEC Level 3 courses.

More than a third of all grades awarded were grade 7 or above against a national average of around one in five across all schools; over a fifth were a grade 8 or 9.

Our pupils are admitted without reference to academic ability, and many join us after their education has been disrupted elsewhere. Results of this kind, from a genuinely non-selective intake, reflect what small classes and specialist teaching can do.

Dear parents of teens in and around the area -

Last night at around 10pm our security scared a group of teenagers off who were poking around with torches looking for a way into the building. We have footage.

Please…if you’re not sure where your teen was at this time of night, have a word…

We’re trying to add value to our community, not invite undesirables in.

If you’d like a tour around the school to see what we’re offering and enrol with us, don’t wait until 10pm; give us a call and we’d be happy to show you around.

Much appreciated.

We're looking for a full-time Science Teacher — Kimichi School Worcester

We need someone who can teach science well. But more than that, we need someone who is kind. Our pupils are bright, curious young people, many of whom have found mainstream school a difficult place to be. What changes things for them isn't a perfect scheme of work — it's an adult who is patient, consistent and genuinely interested in them.

So: qualified teacher status is welcome but not essential. If you're a recent graduate with a science degree who hasn't found the right role yet, or someone thinking about moving into teaching, we'd like to hear from you. We'll support you properly.

What we do ask for is empathy, curiosity, and the willingness to work restoratively — no detentions, no isolation, just relationships and high expectations.

Salary and full details are discussed directly with candidates, so please get in touch.

📩 [email protected] — email or message us and we'll send everything over.

Kimichi School Worcester | Battenhall Avenue | Small independent school, music at its heart

Last day of term at Kimichi Worcester; and yes, that's our kitchen in full swing.

Cooking isn't an afterthought here. It's life skills, it's independence, it's sitting down and eating together. It's also the sort of learning that reaches a young person who has stopped believing school is for them.

That's the whole idea of this place.

Kimichi Worcester is a small independent school for ages 11–16, built around music, restorative practice and actually knowing every single child. Small classes. No detentions. No isolation rooms. Some of our young people have EHCPs, and some of them arrive after somewhere else hasn't worked: anxiety, school refusal, exclusion, a system that ran out of patience.

We don't run out of patience.

We opened in January 2026 and we have places for September 2026, and we can take children mid-year too.

If you're reading this thinking ‘it's too late, we've missed the boat, we'll just have to get through another year’ please don't. It isn't too late. Not for September, and not for October, or January either. We take admissions all year round, because children don't stop needing school at convenient moments, especially if Year 7 isn’t *quite* what you thought it’d be…

If your child is:
🎵 struggling with anxiety in a big mainstream setting
🎵 waiting on an EHCP, or has one that isn't being met
🎵 brilliant, but not in the way a mainstream timetable measures

come and look at us. No pressure, no hard sell, just a walk round and an honest conversation about whether we're right for your child. We'd far rather tell you we're not a good fit than take a child we can't help.

Message us here, or get in touch through the website to book a visit. Local Authority-funded and privately funded places both welcome; we'll talk you through either.

One term in the right school can change everything. Let's talk before September.
