Northampton Saints Foundation invites you to delve into the history of Northampton Saints through engaging assemblies, hands-on activities, presentations, and immersive stadium tours.
We believe that remembering those who have shaped our club is essential to both our community and our legacy. Alongside our club historians, we’re excited to bring these stories to life through educational sessions that connect seamlessly with curriculum themes, making history both fun and meaningful.
Highlights:
- Edgar Mobbs: Learn about the inspiring journey of Edgar Mobbs, founder of the Mobbs’ Own, who led his men into battle during the First World War
- Frank Anderson: Hear the groundbreaking story of Frank Anderson, the club’s first mixed-race player, and his lasting impact
- Jim Baker: Explore the legacy of Jim Baker, the Saints’ very first captain
Tailored Programmes to Fit Your Curriculum
We’re dedicated to supporting your curriculum goals, and we’ll work with you to create a heritage package that best suits your students’ needs.
Example: Mobbs’ Own Day
Students will start with a rugby session led by the club’s community coaches, followed by a stadium tour (where possible) that reveals the history of Northampton Saints. Alternatively, students can participate in an interactive session, piecing together the timeline of Edgar Mobbs’ life and legacy. The day concludes with a team challenge, where students follow the trail of Mobbs and the men of ‘D’ Company on their journey into the First World War.
