RGS Dodderhill is an all girls private school on the outskirts of Droitwich Spa, Worcestershire, England. For girls aged 9-16, RGS Dodderhill offers a focused, academically ambitious environment designed around how girls lean, lead and communicate.

In 1999, Whitford Hall moved to the village of Dodderhill and was known as "Whitford Hall and Dodderhill School" until 2006. On 30 April 2019, Dodderhill School merged with the RGS Worcester family of schools, and is now known as RGS Dodderhill. In September 2021, RGS Dodderhill Prep School became co-educational, whilst the Senior School remains exclusively for Girls.
