Looking for a school rugby tour to inspire all your rugby players? Want them to experience Premiership professionalism? Head to Northampton.  

One of the largest and oldest Rugby Union clubs in England, Northampton Saints are at the top of their game, winning the English Premiership title in 2024. On your school rugby tour to Northampton, your students will enjoy a professional coaching clinic with Northampton Saints coaches at Franklin’s Gardens, the club’s stadium.  

Franklin’s Gardens is also the venue for all Loughborugh Lightning’s home fixtures. The Lightning play in the Allianz Premiership Women’s Rugby competition, the top-level of league rugby in England. Boasting several internationals such as England’s Emily Scarratt, Sadia Kabeya and Helena Rowland, as well as Scotland’s Rachel Malcolm, Helen Nelson, and Emma Wassell, the Lightning are a force to be reckoned with and play an exciting, entertaining brand of rugby.  

Not only will your students have the incredible experience of taking part in a coaching clinic with Northampton Saints coaches at Franklin’s Gardens, but you’ll also be able to watch the professionals from either Northampton Saints or Loughborough Lightning at work at a home match. 

And when you’re not hanging out at Franklin’s Gardens, you’ll be able to take advantage of Northampton’s central location to enjoy a variety of other activities, including a team-building experience at Conkers or a visit to UK’s premier motorsport race track, Silverstone, including the opportunity to explore the museum there and take part in a curriculum-based STEM workshop.

Launching your tour to parents and students

The next step is to get your tour approved and then get students signed up to it. Our ‘Trip Launch Pack’ will help you with this step. Here you’ll find loads of resources (all free to download) designed to make your life easier at this crucial point in the planning process.

Once you’ve booked, your dedicated Itinerary Coordinator will start working on the finer details. They’ll make sure your itinerary makes the most of your time and they’ll take on most of the admin tasks for your tour (making the whole process a lot less stressful for you).

Support while

your trip

When you return from your sports tour, we’ll ask you to complete a detailed feedback survey, which helps us continue to improve the service we offer. And we can start planning your next tour too, so you can give parents plenty of time to pay for it (and so it’s less stressful for you).
