One of the quintessential sports of the best British boarding schools and best British private schools is the game of Rugby. Steeped in history, tradition and prestige - rugby is widely played across independent schools in the UK. However, with so much choice available and the very fact that rugby is so widely popular in UK boarding schools, it can be difficult for you to pinpoint which may be the best British boarding schools for rugby when searching for a top UK private school. We are proud to offer our knowledge and experience for families in such a situation.
Rugby, perhaps more than any other sport in the independent sector is so widely played that it can be difficult to distinguish between a regular rugby offering and something much more specialised. Whilst you would expect the academic experience to be superb at top British boarding schools and top British private schools - the level of provision for rugby coaching, participation and development can vary greatly. We recommend speaking to an experienced education counsellor when looking for a school where rugby is an important factor. There are several schools in the UK that offer true excellence in rugby development, either for those with elite aspirations or those that are at the beginning of their rugby journey.
We undertake a detailed consultation call with all prospective parents to help establish your requirements and then pinpoint a shortlist when trying to find UK boarding schools. This has allowed us to successfully help families from around the world with various interests who are unsure just where to begin with their search. As a general guide, when looking for a top UK boarding school for rugby, a good UK education counsellor may talk you through some of the following points:
-
The quality and level of training and playing facilities available
-
The level of competition and track record in tournaments
-
The strength and conditioning programmes and qualifications of the coaches
-
The track record of producing elite level players
-
The level of infrastructure and support for beginners
-
The number of players on the programme
-
The playing experience/coaching experience of the lead members of staff
-
The role that rugby plays in the history and culture of the school
-
The access to physiotherapy and sports psychology
-
Total playing and training time
-
Future investment plans the school has for the sport
-
How all of the above can be married with achieving your academic goals
The above are just a few pointers that our expert counsellors will discuss with you and we will also be interested to learn about your child’s playing experience and aspirations away from rugby. This, amongst other areas we cover, allows us to pinpoint a shortlist of closely matched schools which are perfect for your needs.
