Tim Curtis: 40 Years at RGS
There cannot be many people who can say they have been an integral part of a school for well over 40 years, but that is what Tim Curtis has been to RGS Worcester.
Tim arrived at RGS in September 1970, a fresh-faced 10 year old (he was a year ahead academically). He played Cricket for the 1st XI when he was 13 and went on to Captain the 1st XI and the 1st XV as well as being Head Boy before going on to study at Durham and Cambridge Universities. Whilst being a professional cricketer with Worcestershire he taught English and Games in the two winter terms from 1984 to 1997 and then, after a very successful career in Cricket, captaining the County side and playing for England, he retired and took up a full time post at RGS in 1997.

Tim quickly established himself as a passionate teacher of English as well as passing on his vast knowledge of Cricket, Rugby and Football on the games field. In 2005 he became Director of Sport and over-saw the introduction of girls’ sport as well as establishing a strong coaching team across all sports. Much of the success we see on the RGS sports field is down to his meticulous organisation and commitment.
Passionate, intelligent, erudite and highly competitive – we hope these qualities of Tim’s will not be totally lost to RGS in the future as we wish him and his wife Phillipa, a long and happy retirement.
Mr Mike Wilkinson – Head of Cricket
