Admissions Information

What is the London Irish ACE Programme
The ACE scheme – Academy, Colleges and Education - is targeted at talented Year 12 and Year 13 students who have the aspirations and potential to play elite rugby. The ACE scheme gives boys the opportunity to combine rugby training with education here at The Bishop Wand School. This combination allows the students to not only gain an excellent education, but also experience high quality rugby training and match opportunities.
The rugby component of the combined development process will be delivered at the London Irish training ground in Sunbury and will be led by ACE Head Coach Richard Pryor supported by Pierre Clark and Delon Armitage.
