At the National Final of the Young Engineers competition held at the Old Naval College, Greenwich two RGSAO pupils were again successful.

Robert Tipton and Joseph Perry obtained the ward for Best Craftsmanship and engineering. At only 14 years old they were in competition with many A Level students and it was a fantastic achievement for them to obtain such an award.

They each received a cheque for £200 and a £400 prize was also given to the Design & Technology Department at RGSAO.

Mr Cotterill, Head of D&T is extremely proud of the two pupils and expects them to win even more awards as they progress through the School. “They are both very gifted and talented in the field” said Mr Cotterill.

RGSAO was formed by the merger, on September 1st 2007, of the Royal Grammar School Worcester and Alice Ottley School. The school has 940 girls and boys aged between 11 and 18 years of age and a first-class site in the heart of Worcester, which includes extensive sports facilities and specialist teaching rooms. The school aims to offer a balanced and challenging education, which will stand pupils in good stead in their future careers and within the community at large.
