Nunnery Wood High School is an academy school in Worcester, Worcestershire, England. It is a co-educational school and a Science College with about 1350 students on roll aged from 11 to 16. In 1983 following a restructuring of schools in Worcestershire the Nunnery Wood Secondary School was renamed Nunnery Wood High School.^[1]

The school campus is located on the edge of Worcester, surrounded by some 15 acres (61,000 m²) of gardens and playing fields which it shares with the adjacent Sixth Form College.

The school's sports centre has an all-weather outdoor pitch and athletics track.^[1]

In 2008, 73% of students achieved five or more A*-C GCSE qualifications. In November 2013, year 11 students had the highest pass rate of all time for the school in the English Language GCSE, with over 82% of the school year achieving A*-C GCSE qualifications.
