WRU Hub Officer

Every pupil here at Ysgol Heol Goffa has the opportunity to participate in a rugby/PE lesson every week.

This can range from sensory lessons to rebound therapy to a traditional PE lesson. The pupils engage really well, and their skills have improved dramatically.

We try to get out as much as possible and have recently attended matches versus other SEN establishments along with attending events such as the WRU SEN Urdd 7's we have also attended lots of Inclusion rugby festivals/events.

Something that was extremely popular is when we run wheelchair rugby in school, something we will definitely be doing again shortly. 

This year we have also run Rugby Leaders qualification whereby our learners do a coaching course and go at teach others. We have done this internally with great success and are now taking our Rugby Leaders out to local primary schools to deliver a rugby lesson.

Pupils also have the opportunity to join extra-curricular clubs (both lunchtime and after school) our ICC and Young Warriors sessions on a Wednesday evening are increasingly popular.

If anyone wants any further information, please don't hesitate to send me an email oliver.west@heolgoffa.ysgolccc.cymru
