**HEAD OF RUGBY**

**Required from September 2023**

Owing to the promotion of our current Head of Rugby, to Assistant Director of Sport within RGS, we have an exciting opportunity for an experienced and inspiring Head of Rugby to join us in contributing to our excellent sporting provision.

The Head of Rugby will report directly to our Director of Sport.

**THE SPORTS DEPARTMENT**

The RGS Senior and Junior Schools offer a fantastic range of sports to students through curricular PE and swimming, timetabled games and co-curricular sports. All students are encouraged and have multiple opportunities to represent the school and sport offers opportunities at all levels. Staff are mainly multi-disciplined and work with teams across a full range of sports and all age groups.

The sports facilities include four rugby pitches (one on-site and three a short 5-minute walk), a full-size football pitch, a six-lane 25-metre swimming-pool; two sports halls; strength and conditioning studios; dance facilities; a designated PE/sport classroom and changing-rooms to accommodate all the school’s foreseeable sporting needs. On-site the school has an excellent all-weather hockey (multi-use) pitch, netball courts, tennis courts and one rugby pitch. For cross-country running both Senior and Junior Schools use the adjoining Exhibition Park and Town Moor. For cricket the school owns the Jesmond cricket ground which is a 5-minute walk away from the main school and we regularly use the Northumberland Lawn Tennis club for tennis, squash and badminton facilities.

All year groups have a games afternoon every week, giving the opportunity for all students to be involved in a comprehensive programme, as well as to play in fixtures. Students in Years 7 to 9 get one hour of timetabled PE a week, and an hour of swimming every fortnight. In Years 10 and 11 they get one hour of PE, or swimming on a rotation each week. Alongside curricular PE, swimming and games, the department delivers AQA A level and will offer AQA GCSE PE for the first-time next year. We also offer opportunities to develop leadership skills in sports, as we feel it is important for our students to develop leadership skills alongside their physical skills.

In sport we want all students to participate, whilst also striving to be the best they can, and there are inter-house competitions and school teams for rugby, hockey, football, netball, cross-country running, swimming, cricket, rounders, athletics, basketball, badminton, squash, tennis, athletics and gymnastics. These sports have clubs during the week, before, during and after school. Fixtures are played mid-week and on Saturdays where we have the opportunity to travel further afield to take on suitable competitive fixtures. Teams compete at all levels. In rugby the senior rugby team have recently won the prestigious invitational St Joseph’s Festival and Rosslyn Park National 7s. This year they reached the quarter finals of the National RFU U18 Schools Cup. Last year our U15 team were plate winners at the Invitational Langley Festival and our U16 team were winners of the RGS 7’s competition for the first time. The school has produced international players in various age groups. We currently support many individuals who are in the RFU Falcons Academy pathways and we currently have 7 Old Novos (former students) contracted with Newcastle Falcons and other ON’s playing in the Premiership and abroad.

In other sports the school regularly reaches national finals, last year our senior girls were National Tier 2 hockey champions, which promoted them into Tier 1 National League and the senior netball team made the National finals. Our swimming, cross-country and gymnastics teams all reached National finals with many of our gymnastics teams being crowned British Champions. Most importantly we have put out many teams across all ages, giving as many students as possible the opportunity to represent the school at many different sports.

**MAIN DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES**

Reporting to the Director of Sport and working in collaboration with the wider PE and Sport Department, the Head of Rugby will:
