Last week saw a new sports partnership develop between Abingdon School, Abingdon Prep and Hagbourne Primary School. Thanks to collaboration between the three schools, Sixth Form rugby players from Abingdon School, under the guidance of Director of Rugby, Matt Gold and APS Director of Sport, Elliot Birkbeck, delivered a session of rugby skills to over 50 students from APS and Hagbourne Primary School. The session explored dynamic movement through a warm up and then looked at handling, passing and positional play before ending with a game of tag rugby. The Sixth Form students developed skills associated with coaching such as leadership, communication and planning, while the younger students enjoyed an active afternoon in the sun playing sport and learning new skills with students from a different school. All in all it was a great success and we look forward to building on this event in future.
