Page "The King's School, Worcester" Paragraph 5

The senior school is situated on Worcester's College Green, a space between Worcester Cathedral and the east bank of the River Severn.

Many of the school's buildings on the Green are leased from the cathedral, including College Hall ( formerly the monastic refectory, for many years the school's only teaching hall, and currently an assembly hall ) and Edgar Tower, the medieval gatehouse to College Green, which for many years housed the school library.

The school and the cathedral maintain a close relationship, with the school providing cathedral choristers and enjoying the use of the cathedral for major services.

The most senior members of school staff, the cathedral choristers, and the school's King's and Queen's Scholars are ex officio members of the cathedral foundation, while the school is required by statute to have the cathedral Dean and Chapter represented on its governing body.
