Olympiad Excellence Across the Sciences
We are delighted to announce that over 150 RGS Worcester pupils received medals for their outstanding performances in three prestigious national Science competitions: the Chemistry, Physics and Biology Olympiads. These challenging competitions offer pupils the opportunity to go beyond their set curriculum, develop their critical thinking and problem-solving skills and apply their scientific knowledge to real-world contexts.
Pupils performed exceptionally well in the Biology Olympiad, with one Gold, ten Silver and ten Bronze medals awarded. In addition, twelve pupils were Highly Commended and eleven received Commended certificates. Congratulations to James Evans, who achieved the Gold award for his outstanding performance in this challenging national competition.
The Chemistry Olympiad similarly saw excellent results, with three pupils receiving Gold, eleven achieving Silver, and eighteen earning Bronze medals. Congratulations go to Upper Sixth students Sam Taylor, Henry Welsby and Matt Fallows, each of whom secured a coveted Gold award in recognition of their high-level analytical skills and scientific understanding.
Our pupils also excelled in the British Physics Olympiad, which includes both the Intermediate Challenge for Year Eleven and the Senior Challenge for the Lower Sixth. In the Intermediate Challenge, RGS pupils achieved eighteen Gold, thirty-six Silver, and twenty-six Bronze medals, with two additional pupils receiving commendations, from a total of 82 entries. In the Senior Challenge, taken by 31 pupils in the Lower Sixth, five Gold, seventeen Silver, and eight Bronze medals were awarded, along with one commendation. Congratulations go to our Senior Challenge Gold medallists: Noah Dunnett, William Cartwright, Jacob Hartley, Benjamin Brierley, and Harry Moore.
These results, together our best ever at RGS, reflect the dedication, curiosity and academic excellence of our pupils, and we extend our warmest congratulations to everyone who participated in these Olympiads.
