Cross Curricular
Rugby World Cup Resources
This new academic year coincides with one of the most exhilarating events in the rugby calendar, the Rugby World Cup.
The Rugby World Cup has kicked off in New Zealand and to harness such an exciting event we are delighted to launch a set of Rugby World Cup interactive cross curricular resources. These are for Key Stage 3 and 4 and consist of teachers resources, student worksheets and interactive games. All the resources have been created with teacher advice and input (PDF 1MB).
The comprehensive resources take elements of the tournament and transfer them into ideas and guidance for easy lesson planning.

The year 6 primary to year 7 secondary transition is a huge challenge for students and teachers alike. A particular area of concern is in boy’s literacy and reading.The RFU has therefore teamed up with the National Literacy Trust producing a Rugby World Cup 2011 Literacy Toolkit. The toolkit is a high-quality resource for Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 3 teachers that uses the Rugby World Cup to promote reading to young people.
