School Description

'William Webb Ellis, who with a fine disregard for the rules of football as played in his time first took the ball in his arms and ran with it ...' Rugby's legend is also its present reality, as boys and girls grasp the vast range of opportunities available and develop their individual talents within a friendly but exacting community founded on a strong tradition of enterprise and excellence.
