Our academic success
We consistently achieve outstanding GCSE results at RGS Dodderhill. Our secret? Small class sizes and excellent teachers who know your daughter and how to get the best out of her. She can choose from over 16 subjects on offer, the core subjects but also Languages, Music, Fine Art, and others.
After GCSE, your daughter can continue her studies in the Sixth Form at RGS Worcester, or at another Sixth Form if she’d prefer.

RGS Dodderhill Year Eleven pupils celebrate great GCSE results
Pupils came into school full of excitement this morning to pick up their GCSE results, and their nervous energy soon turned to celebrations as all our pupils secured their sixth Form place of choice. Most of our pupils achieved ten good GCSE passes, with 44% of the grades falling in the highest Grade 7-9 boundary. This was the first year of Public Examinations since 2019, and our pupils worked incredibly hard during the Global Pandemic to remain on top of their GCSE courses. This hard work definitely paid off today, and they can now look forward to the next chapter of their educational journey.
Headmistress, Sarah Atkinson, commented:
“We are delighted to celebrate these excellent results with our pupils today. It has been a pleasure to witness their determination and resilience throughout these most challenging ‘Covid’ years. They have developed independent learning skills that will stand them in good stead as they embark on their Sixth Form studies. I would also like to thank their teachers who have invested so much into each pupil’s journey. The rapport that exists between pupils and teachers at Dodderhill is really very special, and it was lovely to see everyone celebrating together today. This has been a wonderful Year group, and we wish them the very best for the future.”
Particular highlights include Annetta Makar, who achieved ten GCSEs, all at the top Grade 9. Annetta will move to RGS Worcester Sixth Form to pursue her A-level studies in Maths and Sciences. In addition to her all-round academic ability, Annetta is a fantastic musician, and she will continue to contribute fully to this Department at RGSW.
Poppy Wood takes up a Music Scholarship at RGS Worcester after securing ten GCSEs with two Grade 9s in Music and Geography. Overall, Music is a real strength at RGS Dodderhill, and it was once again one of our most successful departments, with 75% of pupils entered for GCSE in this subject achieving Grade 9.
Head Girl Amelia Titterton achieved ten strong GCSEs, including one Grade 9 in PE. She will join Hartpury College to start her A-level studies in September whilst pursuing her love of Triathlon.
Deputy Head Girls Florence Stewart and Phoebe Askew must also be celebrated. Florence achieved 10 GCSEs, all within the 7-9 grade boundary, she will take up her place at Bromsgrove Sixth Form in September. Phoebe Askew achieved 10 GCSEs, including four Grade 9s in Biology, Physics, Geography and History. Phoebe takes up her place at RGS Worcester Sixth Form next year. These girls have been real role models to the younger pupils, and they have bright futures ahead of them.
Another strength at RGS Dodderhill is Art. Four of our talented artists secured Grade 9s in Fine Art last year whilst still in Year Ten. All went on to study Graphic Communication GCSE this year. Natasha Schoch and Isabel Duggan both achieved Grade 9s in this subject.
Whilst singling out a few highlights above, we want to congratulate every pupil who has received their GCSE results today. We wish them every success for the future!
