As the interest in Rugby across the nation increases, so does the number of requests to provide work experience for senior school boys and girls. Whilst we do provide a limited number of placements during the academic year, our policy is to work closely with local schools that form part of the RFU Education Partnership and endeavour to fulfil their needs.
The RFU Education Partnership is part of the RFU’s wider community relations programme and provides real benefit for schools in the local Twickenham community. The partnership involves 19 primary and 5 senior schools from the Boroughs of Richmond upon Thames and Hounslow.
Senior Schools in the RFU Education Partnership: Orleans Park School (comprehensive 11-16) Waldegrave School for Girls (comprehensive 11-16) Whitton School (comprehensive 11-16) The Heathland School (comprehensive 11-16) Gumley House RC Convent School (comprehensive 11-16)
For pupils who do not attend the aforementioned schools, you may wish to contact your local professional club through Premier Rugby or alternatively your local community rugby club. Click on this link to find a list of your nearest clubs:
