After the huge success of the School of Rugby for pupils in S1 and S2 over the past three years, Knox Academy has secured extra funding from the SRU to expand this initiative through every year in the school. Even better news is that this is being replicated in every school across East Lothian and many in Edinburgh in a real push to grow the game and get Scottish Rugby back to where we all want it to be.

Haddington Rugby Club and Knox Academy have worked in partnership on this initiative and formed Haddington Rugby to give the school teams a stronger identity with the community they represent.

In order for this exciting initiative to be successful and really help strengthen rugby in our community and across Scotland, we are looking for new or returning players to come and try rugby and remind themselves what fun it is.

The Rugby World Cup is coming to East Lothian – and your child is invited.

Note: The letter states that there is a tear off slip to complete and bring along on the night, however the plan now is to hand these slips out on the actual night itself so there is no tear off slip attached.
