Rugby Academy
We have an exciting new and important addition to our key stage 5 offer from September 2025. Sackville Sixth Form is launching an on site rugby academy.
The Sackville Sixth Form Rugby Academy is an enrichment programme which will run alongside Level 3 academic study.
Rugby Academy students will have two 2 hour lessons/coaching sessions per week, plus matches. This will include specialist rugby coaching funded by the Matt Ratana Foundation. Students will also attend two strength and conditioning sessions before school.
During the two years of sixth form, students will complete the following qualifications:
- Level 2 England Rugby Referee Award
- England Rugby Coaching Award
- Emergency First Aid in Rugby Union
Students will gain hands-on coaching experience helping in PE lessons and after school clubs. They will help run local primary school sessions and rugby competitions, and volunteer/coach at the East Grinstead Rugby Club.
