School of Hard Knocks for Schools works with cohorts of up to 25 pupils at risk of exclusion or low educational attainment and teaches them rugby, alongside close personal mentoring. The physical nature of the full-contact rugby teaches discipline, confidence and emotional regulation and pupils also make new friends. The mentoring provides group workshops following the SOHK curriculum, supported by in-depth one-to-one mentoring sessions that provide a listening ear. Pupils play regular matches and receive rewards in the form of kit and trips. We see a dramatic improvement in behaviour, punctuality and attendance - all key predictors of educational attainment.

Overview
School of Hard Knocks uses rugby, boxing and strongman courses to support a curriculum of powerful life lessons which change the futures of school children at risk of exclusion and adults out of work but seeking sustained employment.The contribution from schools to the costs of their programme is an integral part of their financial sustainability and has ensured schools have ‘skin in the game’ to co-operate on management and information sharing. This financial security is supported by The Department of Work and Pensions who remain important to programme development and the charity has proven successful in their payment-by-results contract agreements in England, Scotland and Wales.
The long-term impact of programme participant job retention has driven growth and this impact hopes to continue as they adapt programmes to fit the needs of beneficiaries throughout the viral outbreak in 2020. New interventions have included short courses for people who lost their jobs during this time and online resources to help children dealing with stress and anxiety. Their social media presents has also engaged with young people in support of the Black Lives Matter movement, which will have major implications for the communities the charity works with.
