To study on the Rugby Union Programme, scholars are required to gain 4 GCSE’s at Grade 4 (equivalent to Grade C) or above which should include Maths and English. Scholars who do not achieve Maths or English will be required to retake whilst on the Programme. Scholars who do not meet the Level 3 Entry requirements will still gain a place on the Rugby Academy but will have to Study a Level 1 or 2 qualification in a College Tutor Group which is not exclusive to the Club Academy.
Delivery will be split between Sutton Coldfield College and Rugby specific training sites. This will normally be in Morning or Afternoon blocks in order to minimise the travel between the college and the club. The Programme of study utilises local community facilities for the practical elements of the programme, whereas the College has the IT and Specialist Fitness, Massage and Classroom Resources for many of the taught units.
Assessment will be varied and will include a portfolio of practical activities, case studies, projects, reports, presentations and written presentation. In addition, scholars will have externally-assessed work identified in the chosen pathway.
