At Northampton Saints Foundation, we place the core values of Teamwork, Respect, Enjoyment, Discipline, Sportsmanship, and Understanding at the heart of our innovative classroom and multi-sport sessions. 

These values, deeply embedded in the culture of rugby, translate seamlessly into the classroom, supporting learners to develop the attitudes and behaviours that underpin both academic success and personal growth.

Our Values Programme takes a holistic approach to well-being, focusing on:

• Character development – nurturing resilience, self-discipline and a positive mindset
• Communication skills – encouraging active listening, respect for others’ viewpoints and constructive dialogue
• Positive social behaviours – building empathy, responsibility, and the ability to work collaboratively

Through interactive discussions and practical activities, pupils explore what these values mean in practice and learn how to apply them both in school and in wider life.

Key features of the programme:

• Tailored learning experiences: Sessions are bespoke and can run as a six-week term intervention or a full-year programme, ensuring maximum impact for your learners.
• Alignment with school priorities: We work with schools to integrate your own values and ethos, reinforcing a consistent whole-school approach.
• Flexible delivery: Choose sessions at your school or take advantage of inspiring alternative venues such as cinch Stadium at Franklin’s Gardens or Flip Out Rushden Lakes. Each session blends sport-based activity with classroom-based reflection, ensuring an engaging and well-rounded learning experience.
  
  By experiencing and living out rugby’s values, pupils develop stronger relationships, increased motivation, and the resilience to overcome challenges. Schools benefit from improved classroom behaviour, greater learner engagement and preparing pupils for life in modern Britain.
