    Editorial Oh my!! Can anyone spot the mistake opposite? Sad but true: I very much doubt it was deliberate or ironic – and I think we can safely assume that whoever wrote the copy for the Worcester News sign has enjoyed neither the benefits of an education on a par with that of our former school, nor remembered F7 (spell check) before hitting the print button! But let’s set our giggles and smiles aside for a moment because the sign was the culmination of an intense period of work for a small number of Governors and senior leaders in school, the welcoming of Dodderhill School to the RGS family. As an institution, we take pride in tracing our roots back to the 7th century and we have many notable buildings – Britannia House, Whiteladies and Springfield come immediately to mind. Dodderhill, however, can offer us something none of our three current sites have: a Roman fort! As someone who has always had a keen interest in the Classical world, this is hugely thrilling. To whet appetites, Historic England’s entry about the site begins: “The remains of Dodderhill Roman fort survive well despite some disturbance caused by continuous use and development of the area. Its prominent location will add to the understanding of Roman military strategy during the earliest period. In addition, its position above the salt springs and adjacent to the Roman road will provide information about Roman exploitation of the salt deposits in Salinae.” I am not sure how we top that exciting development!!!!! The eagle-eyed reader (and I know from my correspondence that delightfully, you are many in number) will have noticed my perhaps overly- liberal use of exclamation marks.
