Richmond School Sports Partnership (RSSP)
"The Richmond School Sports Partnership has been working with London Scottish for a number of years now. We have been so impressed by their professionalism, quality of coaching and reliability that we have made them an official partner. Not only do they deliver quality curriculum and out of schools hours sessions, they offer leadership opportunities and conclude any coaching blocks with 'cluster' festivals and London Scottish match day experiences as well as actively encouraging youngsters to stay involved in the sport long term. Students also get access to matches tickets, player visits, signed shirts and much more. Long may it continue!"

"We have been working with London Scottish coaches for a number of years now. Their coaches have been instrumental in teaching curriculum sport for all age groups from Reception to Year 6 as well as running After School Clubs in both TAG Rugby and Athletics. The coaches are very professional and reliable. The children have immensely enjoyed being taught by 'real' rugby players who show genuine enthusiasm and commitment for their sport. They often attend matches to watch their coach in action.
We've attended a number of London Scottish tag rugby events. There is always a stream of praise from team managers and teachers regarding the organisation of the tournaments and the extras they provide."

"We started working with London Scottish around 18 months ago, initially in a bid to give rugby more of a presence in curriculum sport. What we have seen is a small revolution in school sport! We were an out and out football playing school, we now have rugby teams thriving at every age group with afterschool clubs running 4 times per week. The knock on effects in motivation and general attitude of those involved has also been quite remarkable.
The work the LSFC coaches have done has been truly top class; coaching, organising fixtures, and running joint events. We have a great link with the club and many of our pupils are involved with their junior section and academy. No hesitation in recommending the scheme, in fact we have done, and other local schools are now saying the same things as us. Great for local sport."
