THE Henley College has entered into a new sports partnership to establish a pathway for rugby players.
It has joined up with Gloucester Rugby while working alongside Henley Rugby Club, the home of the Hawks.
The partnership will allow selected students to join the Premiership club so that they can pursue academic excellence and a performance-focused rugby environment.
Simon Spearman, principal of The Henley College, said: “We are delighted to be working with Gloucester Rugby Club and Henley Hawks to further strengthen our performance rugby programme. This partnership will give students from Henley and the wider region the chance to benefit from outstanding post-16 education at the college, combined with a high quality performance rugby pathway delivered in collaboration with a premiership club.”
“We offer a wide range of courses that are unique to Henley to support our students. Partnering with Gloucester will enhance and make our experience at Henley even more bespoke.”
