School & College COVID impact and support survey: We want to know the impact COVID has had within your institution and to understand how we can help and support your rugby union delivery. In order to assist, please complete a short survey HERE. |
State School Rugby Forum: The forum will inform schools on the most up to date guidance and support available from the RFU and England Rugby Schools. There will be live discussions from PE teachers from around the country on what their rugby offer looks like. Plus a chance to put your questions to the RFU and England Rugby School colleagues. Please join us on Wednesday 18th November from 16:00-16:40, please register HERE. |
Headcase: There is now an open version form of the Headcase module available from the web site. This version is aimed at those who do not have access to an RFU ID/GMS profile, for example parents, carers and non-PE Staff. We would still expect that those staff who deliver Rugby Union in their establishment to have a profile on the RFU’s GMS and to complete the Headcase module through their profile. |
Rugby in School & Colleges: Schools and colleges are able to continue to play rugby but must follow the DfE guidance for schools and further education settings. Further clarification may be found here. In summary, this is:
We continue to encourage schools and colleges to provide rugby union for the health and wellbeing of their students during lockdown; in particular with community sport being unavailable. However, we also recognise that there are a large number of additional factors for Headteachers/Principals to consider and that it is ultimately their decision whether they can play in line with the government guidance. |
Extra-Curricular is as defined:
This interpretation of the full guidance has been approved by the Department for Education and Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport. |
