Rugby Academy
Alongside our official training partner, Glasgow Warriors, The High School of Glasgow is proud to launch the Rugby Academy - an elite programme for a limited number of pupils with exceptional potential in rugby.
A Programme with Purpose
Our Rugby Academy is built on a simple idea: to develop talent, create opportunity and contribute to the future of Scottish rugby.
It sits within a school that values ambition, community and character, and which understands that success in sport and success in life can go hand-in-hand.
Our facilities are second-to-none, with our Senior School campus set amongst 20 acres of exceptional on-site playing fields that include five full-sized floodlit rugby pitches. And we aren't stopping there...
Supported by Arnold Clark, we are making further significant investment in our sporting facilities. As part of this upgrade, our Senior School gymnasium will be transformed into a modern strength and conditioning suite, designed to support high-performance training for rugby and the numerous other sports on offer at Old Anniesland. This development will ensure that all pupils have access to facilities that match their ambition.
....
The launch of the Rugby Academy represents an exciting and ambitious step forward for sport at The High School of Glasgow.
The Academy has been designed for talented young players who aspire to pursue rugby at the highest level, creating a clear and carefully supported pathway towards the professional game while continuing to benefit from a broad and ambitious education.
This marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for rugby at the School and reflects the ambition of what we are building at Anniesland.”
