The diet of rugby is wide and varied at Dame Allan’s with rugby being offered in various forms – from full contact game to non contact touch rugby. Our facilities include a full size senior pitch and a junior pitch. Additionally the newly refurbished school fitness suite is available to all for strength and conditioning work. Our excellent coaching staff includes a range of RFU level 3 coaches and this is supplemented with sessions from locally renowned club coaches as well as some coaches with national and international experience.

 

Pupils have the opportunity to play in a number of regional and national competitions, including playing rugby against some of the top rugby playing schools in the country.
