The specially designed educational programme has been developed with education departments at the three unitary authorities in the region to ensure it satisfies National Curriculum objectives and assists in the development of key skills.
Thanks to the involvement of Aspire2Be, delivery of the programme has been transformed for 2016 with the new core area of digital competence at its heart.
Paul Whapham, Foundation Manager, Ospreys in the Community said: "A lot of hard work has gone into the revamp of the schools programme in conjunction with the new curriculum and we are very excited to finally be taking it out into the primary schools across the region.
"Groundbreaking when originally launched in 2012, the new look programme is at the cutting edge of education as the first such initiative to combine rugby and digital literacy, all mapped into the new educational curriculum. Best of all, because it links directly into the curriculum, the programme isn't a 'nice to have' that teachers can take or leave, it can be part of their core timetable.
"Aspire2Be has exceptional credentials in the sector and their knowhow and experience has helped to develop a really innovative programme that uses the Ospreys brand and players to create interest and excitement in children who may struggle in class with traditional messages. This is a first class example of how Ospreys in the Community can make a real and tangible difference to people's lives."
