ROYAL WOOTTON BASSETT ACADEMY RUGBY
POWERED BY MAD DOG SPORT
“Mad Dog Sport is more than just sport, or even rygbi (rugby) for that matter. It is a feeling of togetherness; of family and support for one another beyond the sports field. Students who aspire to belong to this group understand very quickly that whilst talent and skill in sport may enable you to play rygbi (rugby) at more advanced levels; the personal development and the physical and emotional wellbeing that evolves from being a Mad Dog student is worth so much more to each of them.
Their desire to make sport equitable chimes with everything we aim to do as a school. I could not be happier to partner Mad Dog at Royal Wootton Bassett Academy.”
Anita Ellis, Headteacher RWBA

Empowering girls through school rugby
After a difficult 18 month pandemic, we are proud to open up the Mad Dog rugby enrichment programme to girls.
“It’s been a long time coming but I am beyond excited that we are now able to offer the same opportunities to both girls and boys. We have wanted to see the benefits of rugby and wellbeing delivered across the school to all students equally for quite some time…
