Celebrating Achievement, Resilience and Excellence in Sport

Middle School and Sixth Form pupils gathered in Tom Savage Sports Hall for the annual Sports Awards Evening, celebrating achievement, resilience and excellence across Sport at RGS Worcester.

The evening provided an opportunity to recognise the commitment, progress and success of pupils across a wide range of Sports, following a year in which RGS pupils competed in more than 1,000 fixtures. From participation across all Year groups to outstanding performances at regional, national and international level, the event reflected the breadth and strength of Sport across the School.

Throughout the evening, pupils were recognised for their contributions across Hockey, Rugby, Cross-Country, Equestrian, Netball, Football, Golf, Swimming, Rowing, Fencing, Cricket, Tennis and Athletics. Awards were presented for individual development, performance and commitment, alongside Charter Prizes, Sports Colours and the major Sports Awards.

This year’s Sports programme included many notable highlights. The Hockey programme enjoyed another strong season, with impressive team performances across the age groups, while Rugby celebrated significant success, including the 1st XV’s memorable Modus Challenge Cup victory at Sixways Stadium and strong performances at Rosslyn Park National Schools Sevens. Netball continued to thrive, with 25 teams fielded across the School and the 1st VII finishing third nationally at the Sisters ‘n Sport Finals Day, as well as securing a superb Superball victory. Rowing enjoyed another successful year on the water, with strong performances at regattas and National Schools’ Regatta, while Cricket, Swimming, Fencing, Golf, Equestrian, Cross-Country, Football, Tennis and Athletics all contributed further individual and team achievements.

The major Sports Awards were presented to pupils who have made exceptional contributions to Sport at RGS Worcester. The Greenway Cup for Best All Round Sportsman was awarded to Tom, while the Wootten Cup for Best All Round Sportswoman was awarded to Eden. The Janet Greene Cup for the Female who Best Epitomises our Charter for Sport was awarded to Maddie, and the Reynolds Cup for the Male who Best Epitomises our Charter for Sport was awarded to Ellis.

Director of Sport, Mr Keith Fowles, said: “This has been a remarkable year for Sport at RGS Worcester. Across every programme, pupils have shown commitment, resilience and a genuine desire to improve, whether representing the School for the first time or competing at the highest level. I am extremely proud of the progress made across our Sports programme and grateful to the pupils, coaches, teachers, Grounds and Estates teams, Catering teams and Sports Administration Hub, whose combined efforts make these opportunities possible. The achievements celebrated this evening reflect a real team effort and provide an exciting platform for the future of Sport at RGS.”

The evening was also an opportunity to thank the dedicated Sports Team, teachers, coaches and all those who support Sport behind the scenes. Their time, expertise and commitment continue to provide pupils with exceptional opportunities to compete, develop and enjoy Sport across the School year.

Congratulations to all pupils who received awards and to everyone who has represented RGS Worcester with such commitment, determination and pride this year.
