The main focus of the Independent Schools Programme is to create, maintain and enhance relationships between Independent Schools and London Irish.

This will include a comprehensive Independent schools programme, specialised coaching sessions, teacher development and creating partner schools for our holiday camps and match day master classes.

The specialised coaching sessions will introduce players to new techniques and training methods and will allow players to develop their rugby skill under the guidance of London Irish coaches.

London Irish are also pleased to announce they will be running an Independent Schools Festival on Saturday 26th November at Leighton Park School (Reading). This festival will allow Independent Schools affiliated to the London Irish Independent Schools Programme an opportunity to showcase their talent against other top Independent Schools. Team entry for this is £270 and this includes 20 free match day tickets.

London Irish offer different packages for Independent Schools, to get involved in this exciting and unique programme please contact Joseph Pegg - Independent Schools Coaching Officer: ben.lee@london-irish.com
