data, only 35.6% of persistently absent pupils achieved grades 9-4 in English and maths, compared to 67.6% of all pupils. Every school day counts in shaping your future, so make sure you are Turning Up for Tomorrow!📚
Wise words from Gareth Southgate and a message we try to teach our
#RugbyWorks
young people! “I've learnt a million things from the day [missed penalty] and the years that followed it. The biggest thing being that when something goes wrong in your life, it doesn't finish you."

From being excluded from school to becoming an inspiration for young people as a coach here at Dallaglio RugbyWorks, Ryan embodies resilience and dedication
We are proudly standing with Bukayo Saka, Marcus Rashford, and Jadon Sancho. They have been part of the team that have brought us all so much joy this past month, yet they are now receiving horrible online abuse.
There is no place for racism in any sport.

report on Alternative provision but sadly it highlights that there are many improvements that need to be made before vulnerable young people receive the support they need to build a successful future
#PowerOfSport
Too many vulnerable children are being cast to our peripheral vision, into alternative school provision, where their life prospects lie hostage to fortune.
