Worcester

On Tuesday 28 September, RGS entered three teams into the ESSA Secondary School Team West Midland Swimming Qualifiers, held at Malvern College.

Thank you to everyone who visited the RGS Worcester’s Open Morning last Saturday. It was wonderful to welcome a record number of families to the School and provide the opportunity to explore our excellent facilities, meet our amazing staff, take part in activities and hear first-hand from our pupils.

Congratulations to Upper Sixth student and School Captain George Oates, who celebrates success in not one, but two prestigious essay competitions.

Congratulations to Upper Sixth student, Isabella Hulbert who has received the exciting news this week that she has been selected for the National Youth Orchestra as a violinist.

RGS celebrated the European Week of Languages last week, with a series of fun, language-focused events across all subject areas of the curriculum. In Science we asked, ‘How does language learning change your brain?’.

We enjoyed the first Teatime Concert of this academic year this week, with talented Year Eleven pupils filling Perrins Hall with the sound of wonderful music once again.

‘DIY’ is the RGS Worcester resident Scholars Drama company. Set up in 2015, Scholars work in the Lent term towards a production which is directed by the Director of Drama, Mrs Witcomb, but everything else is run and managed by the students.

Year Nine Drama Scholar, Lucia Weaver, recently enjoyed a day filming for local creative communications company, DRPG. Lucia was asked to play ‘Lucy’, in ‘My Four Walls’, a short film about young carers coping with life in a pandemic.

The Thompson family of RGS Worcester are known to their peers and teachers, for their athletic prowess and dominance of the classroom with Seb and younger sister Izzy set for stardom!

Last Friday, pupils from all Year groups enjoyed the opportunity to extend and enrich the curriculum with Field Day trips.
