If your child has an exceptional talent for a sport in either cricket, hockey, netball, rugby, football or tennis, but you don’t have the fees to send them to a private school, Rugby School will welcome you with a scholarship, plus an athlete development plan with experienced and knowledgeable coaches, and physiotherapists. The school is also known for being the birthplace of rugby football. After a young student named William Webb Ellis, reportedly frustrated by the slow pace of the game, supposedly scooped up the ball and ran with it in 1823, the school invented and exported its eponymous sport. Handling the ball has been allowed up to that point, but not sprinting with it. His achievement is commemorated with a plaque at the school.
