Worcesterian 2023-2024

The academic year 2023-24 saw the success of RGS recognised nationally for academic achievement, digital learning and AI awareness. In the Summer of 2023, our academic results were given an “honourable mention” in the Sunday Times ‘Parent Power’ League table, which saw us leap up the tables and placed RGS Worcester as the top school in the county. In Summer 2024, the results were simply stunning placing RGS Worcester as the top co-educational school in the West Midlands at A Level. We were even ranked as the 12th best Independent School in the UK in a ranking used by ‘Timeout’ magazine. RGS was also selected as a Finalist for the TES Independent School of the Year Award for the best use of technology. A representative from Apple Education who visited said, “You are doing a fantastic job; I left refreshed and inspired”, and a member of the Department of Business and Trade said that they had not seen what we are achieving in Digital Learning in any other school. We then went one better, awarded Independent School of the Year for, Outreach and Educational Partnerships 2024.   

Worcesterian 2022-2023

The academic year 2022-23 was an exceptional one for RGS Worcester. We achieved superb Public Examination results with well over half of all A Level grades at A*/A and over 90% of the pupils achieving their first-choice university places and other courses. We also saw success throughout the year in a range of academic competitions including Maths Challenges, Science Olympiads and essay-writing competitions in several subjects. The pupils are well supported in their learning and aspire to achieve at RGS.

We had an extraordinary year in Sport, winning all three Cups in our high prestige matches against King’s School held at Sixways Stadium and the University of Worcester Arena. We also had national success in various Sports and saw pupils achieve national honours in Football, Rowing, Boys’ Rugby, Girls’ Rugby, Athletics and Hockey.

Worcesterian 2021-2022

The Worcesterian 2021-22 chronicles the exceptional academic year where the freeing up of restrictions saw the full return of Academic and Co-curricular programmes at RGS Worcester. Superb achievements were recorded academically and on the Sports field, as well as a full calendar of Music and Drama performances and the return of School trips and Sports Tours. 

More than anything else, we have seen the strength of the RGS community with the crisis caused by the war in Ukraine. The RGS Family of Schools’ support from fundraising, support staff travelling to Ukraine, free places for Ukraine pupils and organised ‘get-togethers’.  The response has been exceptional.

Worcesterian 2020-2021

The Worcesterian 2020-21 chronicles an extraordinary year in RGS Worcester’s history when the Covid-19 pandemic continued to affect schools, meaning safety measures continued to be in place. An eight-week period of ‘lockdown’ at the start of the Lent term 2021 required a move to remote learning using our Digital Learning Programme, and the cancellation of Public Exams required Academic Departments to assemble Teacher Assessed Grades for the Exam Boards.

Worcesterian 2019-2020

The Worcesterian 2019-20 is different to previous editions because it chronicles an unprecedented time when the whole world took on the challenge of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and shares some of the experiences. I hope that it is of interest to everyone, not only for the content and memories but also for the togetherness that it demonstrates – for me, the overarching theme of our RGSW community over the last year.

Worcesterian 2018-2019

The Academic year 2018-2019 saw significant developments at the School, which demonstrate the innovative approach to education at RGS Worcester.

We saw the addition of a fourth school to the RGS family, with Dodderhill School joining in April and becoming RGS Dodderhill, providing even more choice for parents and pupils in the RGS educational offering.

Worcesterian 2017-2018

The academic year 2017-2018 was truly exceptional, with achievements across so many areas of school life. RGS pupils rose to the challenge academically and had a successful year in Debating, team and individual sports as well as full participation in CCF, The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award and the fiercely contested House competition.

Woresterian 2016-2017

2016-17 really has been an exceptional year at RGS Worcester and one that the whole school community should reflect upon with a sense of great pride. We were perhaps inspired this year by the words of Sir Ranulph Fiennes who visited RGS in September and gave an extraordinary talk about his adventures, thanking me for the visit to such a “great school”.

Worcesterian 2015-2016

We hope that you enjoy reading The Worcesterian 2015- 2016 and that it provides a fitting tribute to a very successful year. Our challenge is to continue to build upon such strong foundations in providing the very best independent education for our pupils at RGS Worcester.
