Our Work

We deliver a range of interventions designed to complement the education environments we work in.

 

Our Curriculum

Player Profiles

Player Profiles is our pioneering, newly developed web app-based platform which has a game-changing impact on young people by putting personal development in their hands. The platform focuses on skills development and facilitates ownership of progress journeys, for our young people, within the skill areas identified by the World Economic Forum as essential for the 2025 workplace.

RugbyWorks Term-Time

An academic year long intervention designed to build long-term impactful relationships with participants which in turn allows them to fully explore the four cornerstones of the RugbyWorks Theory of Change.

  • RugbyWorks will be timetabled to form part of the weekly curriculum for participants. This intervention is suitable for stable cohorts that we know will be at their educational setting for the full academic year. This model is designed for Key Stage 3 & Key Stage 4 and can be delivered as a preventative model in mainstream schools with young people at risk of exclusion or with cohorts in PRU/AP that have already been excluded.

RugbyWorks Girls

We know that young girls are roughly half as active as young boys but that 74% want to be more active. Over half of secondary girls say that girls are put off sport and physical activity because of their experiences of school sport and PE.

  • We want to change this narrative and understand that to do so we need to be proactive and deliver interventions that are solely focused on the needs and wants of girls.

    So we deliver an academic year long intervention allowing participants to explore the four cornerstones of the RugbyWorks Theory of Change with through the lens of being female in today’s society.

RugbyWorks Evening

We know that young people are more likely to be the victims of or perpetrators of youth violence or anti-social behaviour between the hours of 3pm–7pm.

  • We want to change this narrative so RugbyWorks supports young people once the school day is over by providing safe and productive spaces that allows participants to continue exploring the RugbyWorks Theory of Change.

RugbyWorks Youth Offender

We deliver targeted interventions within secure centres to young people that have been given a custodial sentence - we work with Commissioners and young people to develop bespoke interventions based around our four cornerstones to meet specific needs where appropriate.

  • We follow the same theory of change using our four cornerstones of delivery although certain activities and outputs are amended due to the different restrictions these young people face.

RugbyWorks
Holidays

We know the attainment gap is amplified for our young people in the school holidays so RugbyWorks deliver holiday engagement interventions in local community settings as part of our place-based focus, offering wraparound support to the young people that need it the most when not in school.

  • We work with local delivery partners, local authorities and government funded initiatives such as the Holiday Activities & Food Programme and Opening School Facilities.
