The purpose of the DiSE Rugby Programme is to support students in both their rugby development and academic progress. DiSE is recognised as part of the RFU player pathway and each RFU academy has a direct partnership with an academic institution that provides the DiSE qualification on their behalf. Bishop Burton links with The Yorkshire Rugby Academy (Yorkshire Carnegie). The DiSE League is the RFUs Leading u18 competition with 14 academy teams involved, including all Premiership academies (eg Saracens, Leicester Tigers, and Wasps etc). The DiSE qualification sits alongside a student’s academic BTEC option (equivalent to three A-levels) and a DiSE rugby student will have a unique integrated timetable to access all academic requirements and the 12-15 hours of rugby specific content every week.
