| The study centre is the Warriors very own onsite learning centre which, in partnership with Worcestershire County Council and Playing for Success, bring students to Sixways to follow a curriculum based on the theme of sport, especially rugby, with the focus on developing literacy, numeracy and ICT skills.
Last term all students who attended the study sessions were treated to an evening with the players as part of their learning experience. The students interviewed their local heroes to improve the key skills involved in speaking and listening and also to learn about the life of a professional rugby player. Fourteen Warriors gave their time to support the students. Time was put aside for a photograph and autograph session and students had the opportunity to show off their newly acquired ICT skills.
The following schools will be ‘Playing for Success’ this term:
• Gorse Hill Primary School
• Warndon Primary School
• Witton Middle School
• Cranham Primary School
• Pitmaston Primary School
• Pershore High School
• Lickhill Primary School
• St.George’s CE Primary School
• St.Barnabas CE Primary School
• Abbey Park Middle School
We are always looking for volunteer mentors to work with the young visitors so if you feel you can spare some time between 4pm and 6pm or 6pm and 8pm on a week night please contact Tom Ryder, Community Manager, on tom@wrfc.co.uk for more information.
