Sarries high school given the go ahead

Sarries are opening a high school in Barnet, where there is a huge shortage of secondary schools.
Not normally a fan of Nige, but well done to him and sarries.
Hope it's a success

Will it also be a rugby academy?

Yeah they launched the project back in February with th eDoE approving it as part of the latest tranche of "Free" schools. Rumours that the first intake in September 2017 will include a high proportion of Fijians and South africans will surely prove unfounded

Just one of Sarries many community projects, so no not really. Will probably be a rugby playing school I guess.

Think more pro clubs will look to do similar? It gives back to the community, looks good and if 10 years down the line it produces a few players for the club, or even backroom staff it's all a bonus.
