Worcester

Out of the crazy times that beset us at the moment, comes a truly positive ray of sunshine – RGS Kitchen Adventures with Mrs Nicholls. This weekly virtual Cookery Club, from the comfort and ease of participants’ homes, would have been difficult to achieve at school with over 30 pupils signed up.

RGS rowers were invited to participate in a Stay-at-home Regatta organised by Monmouth Boys’ School. 35 teams of four took part including 4 teams of RGS rowers and 3 teams of parents (rowing under the banner of the Pullinger Boat Club).

In early June 2019, the UK government declared that, for only the second time since 1945, the country would officially celebrate the Allied victory over Nazi Germany, on Friday 8 May, with a public holiday.

At 6.50 pm on Tuesday I nervously sat in my living room hoping to run a school concert online from my armchair; an hour later I breathed a deep and sincere sigh of relief after what had been a hugely successful and enjoyable Piano Concert.

Four Debaters from RGS Worcester had a successful online practice run on Saturday 25 April in preparation for the ICYD Finals Weekend.  

RGS Worcester has been busy supporting the national call for assistance with providing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to the NHS.  The Design and Technology department submitted a design for face visor masks and received the go-ahead to start production.

Over the last two weeks Mrs Bishop and Mrs Matthews from the Textiles Department have produced over 50 scrub sacks that have been sent to the charity ‘For the Love of Scrubs’ who have rapidly responded to the need for scrub supplies in the local area.

Congratulations to Dr Andrew, Assistant Head Pastoral, and to Mrs Sullivan, Head of Rowing who both completed 2.6 challenges in their own homes, raising funds for charities.
