We are pleased to announce an exciting new initiative with Yorkshire Rugby Academy to provide a clear and structured pathway for talented young players to develop and progress towards professional rugby.

Officially launching in September 2025, it will see us participate in the National Academy, Colleges and Education (ACE) league and serve as a key hub within Yorkshire Rugby Academy’s talent pathway, supporting boys 11-18 in their rugby development.

We are very proud that our OFSTED-rated Outstanding Sixth Form educational offer, alongside our current Rugby Scholarship has been identified and selected to play a pivotal role in the future of Yorkshire Rugby.

Stuart Dixon, Yorkshire Rugby Academy manager, said: “We are delighted to partner with Wath Academy as part of our ongoing mission to develop the best rugby talent in the South Yorkshire region. This initiative will not only raise the standard of rugby at the school level but also strengthen the future of the sport in Yorkshire.” @Yorkshire Rugby Academy
