I am delighted to share with you details of the Sports Scholarship assessment opportunities at RGS Worcester. WE believe that Sport is about more than results: it builds resilience, teamwork and confidence, while encouraging individual ambition and enjoyment.

Our Sports Scholarships recognise pupils who demonstrate talent, promise and dedication, and provide them with the coaching, support and facilities to achieve their very best. Through our Athlete Development Programme, pupils benefit from structured strength and conditioning, performance analysis and tailored mentoring. This holistic approach ensures that every young athlete, whether aiming to represent the School, their county or beyond - is supported to grow both on and off the pitch.

My role as Director of Sport

As Director of Sport at RGS Worcester, I oversee the breadth of sporting opportunities across the School. With over twenty years’ experience in nationally successful programmes, an MSc in Professional Development in Sport Coaching and as a Level 4 Coach and Coach Developer, I am passionate about ensuring that every pupil, whatever their sport, has the support and guidance to develop their skills, character and enjoyment of the game.

Hockey at RGS Worcester

Miss Sally Walton leads the Hockey programme at RGS Worcester, drawing on an outstanding international career with 165 caps for England and Great Britain. A key member of Team GB’s Bronze medal–winning squad at the London 2012 Olympics, she brings a wealth of elite-level experience to her coaching.

As Head of Hockey, she is committed to providing every pupil with access to top-level coaching, highlevel competition and clear development pathways. Supported by a strong team of professional coaches, Miss Walton ensures that players of all abilities are inspired, challenged and given every opportunity to fulfil their potential in Hockey.

Scholarship Information

Scholarships are awarded on the basis of each player’s ability and potential as shown in their assessments. An award may carry a fee remission or be offered on an honorary basis and can be combined with means-tested bursaries where applicable.
