We are proud to have been named winners of the Inspiring Sporting Activities Award at the 2026 Talk Education Awards for Innovation in Education.

This recognition reflects our commitment to Sport as an integral part of a Rugby education and to developing confident, well-rounded young people. At Rugby, the whole person is the whole point, and Sport plays a vital role in helping students develop character, resilience, teamwork and confidence.

One of the defining features of Rugby's sporting provision is that Sport is timetabled for every student, with daily opportunities for physical activity built into School life. Alongside the core sports programme, students can choose from more than 20 team and individual sports, ensuring there are opportunities for everyone to get involved, develop new skills and discover a lifelong love of being active.

The breadth of opportunity is matched by the quality of provision. Every year group benefits from professional coaching twice a week, regardless of ability or team selection, while excellent on-site facilities, strong links with professional clubs and a wide-ranging fixture programme provide further opportunities for development. As a full boarding school, students also have access to sporting facilities throughout the weekend.
