A Fond Farewell

In the RGS Times this week, we bid a fond farewell to Mr Shawn Jones, who is leaving RGS Worcester at the end of this term.

Before joining RGS, Mr Jones originally trained as a graphic designer working in advertising and marketing before a transition into the print and publishing industry. He was a production manager for a large magazine printing company, producing global publications such as Time, News Week and Gardeners World. He successfully launched Delicious Magazine with the top chefs in the country and then undertook building computer software Management Information Systems (MIS) to improve efficiencies and production. Mr Jones then changed career direction, completing a BSc in Geography and a PGCE at the University of Worcester. Mr Jones joined us from Priory in Edgbaston where he taught for 5 years before joining RGS.

Shawn, who initially joined our Geography Department as cover for a teacher taking maternity leave, has made an impact during his time here. Demonstrating dedication, he taught across all Key Stages, sharing his knowledge of Geography. In addition to his teaching duties, Shawn participated in trips including the Iceland expedition and the Lower Sixth trip to Slapton. His assistance with Fencing has also been a great assistance. As Shawn moves on to new opportunities, we acknowledge his contributions and wish him well in his future endeavours.
