Job overview
Rugby is the major boys' sport at the Senior School during the Autumn Term and is also played at the Prep School throughout the Autumn and Spring Terms. We
field teams across all age groups, from U8 to U18, with regular training sessions and Games lessons held during the week, and fixtures played mid-week as well as
on Saturday afternoons. In the Spring Term, our focus shifts to 7s rugby, with Sunday tournaments building towards the prestigious Rosslyn Park National Schools
'7s. Rugby has a strong tradition at the College, with an established ethos of full participation. In 2024, we proudly celebrated 100 years of rugby at the College
with a series of special events, including our inaugural 7s tournament—now set to become an annual fixture.
The hours for this role vary across the three school terms:
* Autumn Term – 45 hours per week
* Spring Term – 20 hours per week
* Summer Term – 20 hours per week
The Head of Rugby will lead our rugby provision, sustaining our pupils' love of the game, building on our success, and continuing to raise the profile of the sport both
at the College and beyond. The successful candidate will have a strong sporting background, with proven experience of change management and expertise in the
coaching and management of the sport. They will work closely with the Director of Sport and the Head of Prep School PE & Games as well as with other coaching
and academic staff. The College actively supports pupils taking part in tours, and it is expected that the Head of Rugby will organise and lead rugby tours during the
holidays. These have been a regular feature over the years, with regular trips to Europe and a tour to South Africa in the summer of 2023.

'Where every pupil creates their own story' - Rated 'Excellent' (ISI Inspection 2022)
Framlingham College is a boarding and day school for boys and girls aged 3-18 which offers flexible and full boarding options.
This is a school that is interested in the development of the whole person as well as the examination candidate, and we encourage our pupils to open their minds, to aim high in all they do, and to make the most of the opportunities available to them. The College has a fine record in stretching the most able pupils, and we know that the bright child will do as well here as they will anywhere else, while our 'value-added' rating for those pupils who are not automatically destined to achieve A grades at GCSE and A Level stands alongside the very best in the country. Individual programmes of study provide each pupil with the knowledge and expertise to realise their full academic and personal potential, and the majority of our leavers go on to top British universities, including Oxford and Cambridge. What is certain is that all pupils can be assured of the highest professional quality of provision and individual care in all areas of school life, whatever their strengths or interests.
Framlinghamians leave here with a strong sense of self and a keen awareness of - and sensitivity to - the world around them. The adult world that they will be entering will be a very different one from a generation ago, and we want our pupils to leave here excited – rather than daunted – by the challenges that it will hold.
The College (both Senior and Prep Schools) was rated 'Excellent' by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) in 2022. To view the Inspection Reports in full as well as an Executive Summary of feedback, visit:
