Student Profile

Samuel is studying A Levels in Maths, Biology and Physical Education, alongside the Elite Rugby Programme. “The Henley College was the right choice for me as it provides an A level education while being in an Elite Rugby programme. I’ve really enjoyed being more independent and learning lessons that will prepare me for future life. The rugby programme provides nutritional advice and support from physios which has been really helpful in helping me achieve a high level of fitness and wellbeing, and the balance of rugby and education has put me in the right position to be successful in my future aspirations.”
