Celebrating Friendship, Farewells and the Future

There was much fun and laughter, sprinkled with a few tears too, as we said farewell to our Upper Sixth students this week, as they begin their Study Leave ahead of their approaching Public Examinations.

The cohort’s final days in School were marked by a series of events and occasions, celebrating fun, friendship and the future, including the Leavers’ photographs, Final Assembly, Leavers’ Breakfast, Prefect ‘Thank You’ Event and, of course, ‘Grange Day’.

The final day for the Upper Sixth students began with their Final Assembly in Perrins Hall where the Headmaster shared with the students some of the highlights and celebrated their time at RGS Worcester, which for some has stretched over 16 years. The Headmaster reminded the students of the support available to them throughout their Exams and into the future, as all of our leavers very much remain a part of The RGS Family. There was then a rousing final opportunity to sing and raise the roof in Perrins Hall before heading over for breakfast in Main Hall.

The students chatted excitedly over breakfast, reflecting and sharing memories of School life at RGS Worcester while a montage played in the background showing their school photographs when they joined RGS, which brought much amusement.

The Upper Sixth Year group, their Tutors and the Sixth Form Team made their way to RGS The Grange via a competitive game of bowling in Perdiswell. ‘Grange Day’ has become a rite of passage for RGS Worcester leavers and is greatly anticipated, with RGS The Grange’s sports fields filled with numerous fun inflatables, games and sport activities for the students to enjoy, followed by lunch and ice-creams. The day provides a chance to reflect and celebrate together before the serious work of final preparations for the Examinations begins.

We would like to thank the Upper Sixth students for their contribution to the School this academic year and throughout their time at RGS Worcester. We wish them all the very best for their final Examinations. We look forward to celebrating at their Graduation event on 24 June with students, parents and staff.
