HRFC helps local school's SEND pupils to learn life skills

Sat 19 Apr 2025 11:54

Hungerford RFC has formed an amazing partnership with a local school for children with special educational needs (SEND). Oaklands school is using rugby to teach their SEND students valuable life skills. The pupils are loving the sessions, learning teamwork and communication while getting active. Hungerford RFC's support has been a real asset, giving the students a fun and engaging way to build confidence. It's not just about rugby; the school focuses on practical skills through all sorts of outdoor activities. Massive thanks and well done to Jo, Josh, Luke, Sugar and Oliver for giving their time, kindness and support. This initiative was recently covered by both the BBC News and BBC Berkshire radio:
