This week RGS pupils from Year Eleven to Upper Sixth had the opportunity to attend a seminar, highlighting the connection between leadership and the power of Sport.

Once again, the RGS Worcester Debating Society has achieved success, winning Nottingham Schools during Half term.

To keep creativity flowing through ‘lockdown’, Miss Freeman has been inviting her Lower School Dance Club members to express themselves through art and movement.

To conclude this Half term, pupils had the exciting opportunity to join an online ‘live’ Question and Answer session with Olympians and Hockey legends, Kate and Helen Richardson-Walsh.

“Who would have thought a year ago that I would be cooking virtually with over forty pupils, every Thursday evening?”, asks Mrs Nicholls, Head of Careers & Enrichment and Modern Foreign Languages Teacher.

On Tuesday evening, over forty screens gathered on Google Meet for the RGS Music Year Ten Online Concert. Fifteen soloists played and sang from their homes, presenting polished and enjoyable performances of music from a wonderful variety of composers and musical styles.

This Half term of Remote Teaching and Learning has seen a range of exciting opportunities in PE and Games provided by the RGS Sports Department, as they have worked hard to motivate RGS pupils to keep fit and active during ‘lockdown’.

We are delighted to announce that RGS Worcester’s Director of Innovation, John Jones, has been appointed as a Worcestershire Innovation Board Member of the Worcestershire Local Enterprise Partnership (WLEP) on a voluntary basis.

“Last Thursday, six members of Year Ten (including myself) took part in the online, regional round of the English Speaking Union Public Speaking competition. We are all familiar with Debating at school, but only three pupils had ever taken part in a public speaking competition before.

Work on the new Worcester International Hockey Centre has continued over the past months and we can see this exciting new venture, a partnership between RGSW and Worcester Hockey Club and supported by Worcester City Council, really taking shape.
