RGS Dodderhill Celebrates Being Named Top School in County
RGS Dodderhill has set a high standard in academic excellence, securing its place as the top school in Worcestershire. This achievement comes as a result of the School’s recent performance in Attainment 8.
Attainment 8 is an annual measure that gauges the average academic performance of all secondary schools. It comprehensively assesses the highest scores achieved by pupils across eight government-approved school subjects.
RGS Dodderhill has excelled with an impressive Attainment 8 score of 58.8 a significant achievement when compared to the UK average of 46.2 and the Worcestershire average of 44.8 for the 2022 to 2023 academic year.
The all-girls senior school provides an environment where girls can develop and thrive in small class sizes. As one of the only girls school in Worcestershire the school focuses on getting the best out of each and every female pupil. The small class sizes enables the school to provide a bespoke education focusing on their strength, needs and interest.
Headmaster, Mr Tom Banyard said: “We are delighted that our high academic standard has been recognised in the Attainment 8 results. We aim to develop confident young women supporting them to achieve their full potential and this has been reflected in the Attainment 8 score this year. We are incredibly proud of their efforts and I would like to thank our staff have academically stretched our pupils as well as supporting and guiding them to bring out the best in them”

1…2…3… GO!
Our Pre-School children had an absolute blast today! They eagerly participated in a hands-on experiment to see what would happen when we created a gust of wind with our cards, sending a pile of tissue paper swirling and dancing around the room. The experiment turned into a fun, interactive learning session that brought out lots of giggles and wonder.

❤️🎉 Red Nose Day Fun at Nursery & Pre-School! 🎉❤️
Our little ones joined in the celebration of Red Nose Day 2025 with excitement and kindness! Wearing their own clothes with a splash of red, they shared heartwarming insights like “We give money!” and “To help people.”
Throughout the day, our pupils explored the color red by creating beautiful collages, danced at a lively, colorful party complete with balloons, and enjoyed outdoor play with friends. It was a perfect blend of fun, creativity, and generosity.

🌳✨ An Adventure in the Forest
Our Nursery and Pre-School children enjoyed an inspiring morning of outdoor learning under the brilliant spring sunshine at RGS Dodderhill. They discovered mysterious footprints and eagerly helped Ranger Bear investigate their origin. One imaginative pupil suggested the prints might belong to her father because they were “big,” while others wondered if the elusive Gruffalo had returned.
As they explored the woodland, the children uncovered additional clues—fluffy tufts, delicate feathers, and subtle scratch marks on the trees—and even spotted delightful signs of spring, like a charming bumblebee. It was a day filled with curiosity, imagination, and nature’s wonders.

🎶🌈 A Concert in Colour – A Night to Remember! 🎶🌈
Last night, the RGS Family of Schools descended on Worcester Cathedral for “Rhapsody in Blue – A Concert in Colour.” An extraordinary evening of musical brilliance, the performance showcased the full spectrum of colour through music—from the classic sounds of 1964’s Goldfinger to the soulful vibes of Jill Scott’s 2004 anthem Golden.
Featuring performances by the choirs and orchestras from RGS Springfield, RGS The Grange, RGS Dodderhill, and RGS Worcester, the night highlighted the amazing talent of our pupils and the passion of our dedicated teachers. It was a celebration of creativity, unity, and all that our schools have to offer.

🩰✨ All Smiles During Early Years Ballet! ✨😊
It was a day full of smiles at RGS Dodderhill as our little ballerinas enjoyed their Early Years ballet session! Every Thursday morning, our wonderful ballet teacher, Miss Sarah, leads these fun, engaging sessions that help our youngest children develop gross motor skills—essential for fine motor skills and handwriting later on—as well as building strong listening and attention skills. We love watching them grow through music and movement and can’t wait for each new session!
