RGS Worcester students ready for their bright futures
Upper Sixth Results Day – Tuesday 10 August
At RGS Worcester, we were delighted to see the pupils achieve such impressive results again this year. We enjoyed welcoming them into school for their results and there were smiles all round as the students celebrated.
Headmaster, John Pitt, said, “With Digital Learning firmly established at RGS before the pandemic, we were able to keep teaching right through and the students achieved superb results. This Year group built on their excellent GCSE results pre-pandemic, and are now ready for the next stage in their lives. They have done exceptionally well in coping and excelling academically during such a difficult 2 years of Covid. I would like to congratulate the students and the teachers for excellent results to match their hard work and commitment during the most challenging time. We are very proud of all they have achieved.”
Close to one third of Grades were at A* and nearly 70% of Grades were at A* or A Grade. 92% of Grades were awarded A*, A or B Grades. In the BTEC, all Grades were Distinction Stars, Distinctions or Merits, with 75% achieving the top Grades. Half of RGS students achieved 3 A* or A Grades or the BTEC equivalent.
12 pupils achieved the superb results of 3 or 4 A* Grades at A Level: Darcey Chambers, Alexander Coleman, Maximilian Eddy, Tom Ehlers, Max Houchin, Liam Leonard, Matthew Meeson, Oliver Meredith, William Osborne, Tess Rabjohn, Megan Wang and George Wareing.

Fellow exceptional Diploma pianist, Megan Wang achieved 3A* grades and a Scholarship to Imperial College London to read Mechanical Engineering.
Unusually, there were four School Captains in this Year group and they achieved an incredible 9A* and 4A Grades between them. Zain Baig, Darcey Chambers, Eleni Coutsiouri and Tom Ehlers should all be congratulated for their results. “They have been such excellent role models for the younger pupils,” said the Headmaster, “and they have shown great leadership during the pandemic. They have done so much for the School in Debating, Drama, Music and Sport and we wish them and their fellow students all the very best for the future.”
