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 field. 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. Rugby at RGS Worcester Rugby is a particular strength at RGS Worcester. Our programme is led by Mr Chris Pennell, former Worcester Warriors Captain and England international, who enjoyed a professional Rugby career spanning more than 16 years. With his first-hand experience of elite-level performance and a strong reputation for mentoring and leadership, Chris supports pupils of all abilities to develop their technical skills, game awareness and confidence. Alongside a highly skilled coaching team, he leads a Rugby pathway that combines strong values with performance excellence, offering outstanding opportunities for every pupil to develop and progress. As the Official Education Partner of Worcester Warriors our pupils benefit from exclusive access to the Worcester Warriors team of elite coaches and professional players.
