This is organised by Richard Pryor and costs £120 a week term time only. Since a number of you do not live close to the Bishop Wand School, we provide the option of hosting with local families. Each school/college has a maximum of 8 places therefore most players (we are entitled to select a maximum of 25 players per age group) selected would not be on DiSE. Unlike other schools, we do not advertise our program as DiSE because I believe this would misleading. It is worth 64 UCAS points and is based upon the development of their rugby knowledge/performance as well as preparing them for future careers. I run the program along with one of the teachers a Bishop Wand school. Each Premiership Academy is awarded 8 places per year, and these are deployed through the ACE schools/colleges.ĭiSE is a Btec that's sits on top of the student's usual subject choice so all DiSE students must also be studying 3 A-Levels/Btecs. The DiSE program (Diploma in Sporting Excellence) is run nationally across a range of sports through National Governing Bodies which in our case are the RFU. We also have excellent links to the top universities and many of our boys receive unconditional or favourable offers from these universities off the back of being part of our ACE program. We are proud to be the biggest single provider to the Senior Academy and 1st team squads with 24% of the whole squad having come through ACE. A breakdown of the avenues they have taken is listed below:Ĩ received Senior Academy contracts with London Irishģ8 are at university studying a rage of courses and many of these boys are at the top sporting BUCS Universities.Īs you can see, we have managed to provide boys with the skills to pursue many different avenues. Over the last 3 years we have had 51 players graduate from ACE. How do ACE players move onto post 6th form studies?
It also must be remembered that if your son does not make it from U16 DPP into the U18 academy, ACE is the best place for him to be if he harbours a desire to get back into the academy as all staff work for the academy and we train and play at the home of the 1st team and academy therefore your son will be seen on a daily basis developing as a player. I reiterate, this is the highest level of schoolboy rugby in the country and is a fantastic opportunity for young men who wish to become better ruby players while receiving an excellent education. As we have 12 hours of rugby for the 2 years of 6th form education, we know the players who come on ACE will develop significantly physically, mentally, technically, and tactically. It is aimed at anyone who wishes to develop their rugby further and is not purely open to boys within the DPP structure. There are only 14 ACE colleges/schools in England all linked to a Premiership Academy so competition for places is high. We act as a feeder school to the academy and provide between 40-50% of the academy U18 squad each season. It is a program run to provide a 6th form education as well as access to the highest level of coaching and playing opportunities at schoolboy level in England.
