Northampton Saints, a club rich in heritage, proudly presents our new five-week Tackling Heritage Programme. This engaging and interactive series explores both local and global heritage, with a strong focus on historical connections to the World Wars.
Delivered over five weeks, each session includes one hour of classroom learning led by our Foundation education staff, paired with a one-hour practical rugby session, featuring heritage themes, conducted by the Northampton Saints Community Coaching Team. With a total of 10 hours of content, this programme is ideal for Key Stage 2 students and is conveniently conducted within your school. For optimal engagement, we request a minimum of two classes to participate, allowing our team to rotate sessions seamlessly.
