South Africa rugby tour

We’re pleased to announce the return of our Senior School rugby tour to South Africa in 2025. Pupils from across the Senior School will be taking part in games against local schools as well as visiting popular South African tourist attractions such as Table Mountain and a Safari.

We are very grateful to leading Northern property firm, Bradley Hall, who will be sponsoring the tour through the purchase of Samurai rugby balls to be used throughout the tour.

Neil Hart, Chief Executive of Bradley Hall, said: “Bradley Hall has a long-running tradition of supporting grassroots sport and school teams since our establishment over 35 years ago. The opportunity to visit South Africa and take part in games against local sides will be fantastic for the boys and is a reflection of the high-quality extra curricular events available at the school. I wish the boys the very best on their tour and look forward to seeing the results of their games.”

Mr. L Hogarth, Head of Sport, commented on the sponsorship: “We are very grateful to Bradley Hall for sponsoring the balls for our South Africa Tour. This is a highly anticipated event for many of our boys and will be a memorable experience for the whole cohort.”
