Friday Feature: From Yewle House to the Commentary Box

This week's Friday Feature shines a spotlight on alumnus Pete Breakwell (1983-90, whose love of rugby began at RGS and has taken him from captaining Yewle House to commentating on live rugby for BBC Hereford & Worcester.

A lifelong Worcester Warriors supporter, he was given the opportunity last season to join the BBC commentary team and found himself behind the microphone as Warriors completed their remarkable comeback by lifting the Champ Rugby trophy at Bedford.

Reflecting on the experience, he credits RGS with helping to build the confidence in public speaking that has proved invaluable in the commentary box. The school connection remains strong too, with RGS now serving as the Warriors' education partner.

His broadcasting career is already gathering momentum, with a full season of fixtures ahead. As for his most memorable review? Fellow alumnus and lifelong Warriors fan Duncan Sutcliffe summed it up perfectly:

"I was listening thinking who's this new commentator and aren't they good when I suddenly had an unpleasant realisation that it was you! It pains me to acknowledge that you were very good."

Congratulations on an exciting new chapter, and we look forward to following your commentary journey this season.

🏑 Severn Shield 2026 | Celebrating RGS Hockey

A fantastic evening of Hockey yesterday as RGS Worcester's 1st and 2nd XI Girls' teams took on The King's School in the annual Severn Shield fixture.

There was plenty to celebrate for the 2nd XI, who secured an impressive 5–0 victory following an excellent team performance, with every player contributing to the result.

The 1st XI also showed great determination and commitment in a closely contested encounter, narrowly missing out on the Shield following a 1–0 defeat. A special mention goes to the Upper Sixth players for their dedication and contribution to the team.

Beyond the results, it was wonderful to see both teams representing RGS with such enthusiasm, supported by families, staff and members of the wider School community.

Congratulations to all involved and thank you to King's for hosting another memorable Severn Shield evening! 💚

Throwback Thursday 🎶 | From the Archives

It's been a busy few weeks of Music at RGS Worcester, with RGS Live, Teatime Concerts and the Sixth Form Showcase taking place recently. With the Autumn Concert, Christmas with the Big Band and Carol Service still to come, we thought it was a fitting time to take a look back through the RGS archives at some musical moments from years gone by.

This week's photographs take us back to concerts, choirs and ensembles from years gone by, offering a glimpse of some of the pupils and performances that have featured in the School's musical calendar over the decades.

For many Old Elizabethans, these photographs might bring back memories of rehearsals, concerts and performing alongside friends, or perhaps a familiar face or two!

Were you involved in Music during your time at RGS? We'd love to hear what you remember in the comments!

Friday Feature | From RGS to a Career in Medicine 🩺

This week’s Friday Feature celebrates former RGS Worcester pupil Dr Gurjivan Sohal, who recently returned to School to share his journey into Medicine with current pupils.

Since leaving RGS, Gurjivan studied Medicine at Keele University Medical School and is now working as a newly qualified doctor.

During the Careers Seminar, he shared first-hand insight into Medical School, clinical placements and the day-to-day role of a doctor, as well as practical advice on A Level choices, work experience, the UCAT and interviews.

It was wonderful to welcome Gurjivan back to RGS and to see another Old Elizabethan sharing their experience with the next generation.

Our thanks go to Gurjivan for giving his time so generously!
