All Schools
Funding
The seven-year programme costs £10m, met through investment from the Rugby Football Union (RFU), sponsorship from principal partner CBRE and fundraising
Background
In July 2009 England won the right to host the 2015 Rugby World Cup and RFU officials started thinking about the lasting impact of the event, especially for young people. Crucially, they were keen to promote the idea rugby union is a game for all schools so the All Schools programme was born, launching in September 2012. Before it started there were 1,500 state secondary schools in England offering rugby union as part of the curriculum and the aim was to get 11- to 15-year-olds in 750 more playing the sport by the end of the scheme in 2019.
