Kukri Sports Partner Rugby School Celebrates 50 Years of Inclusion

This year, Rugby School proudly celebrates 50 years since welcoming girls into the institution – a landmark moment that continues to shape its identity as a progressive, inclusive centre of education and sport.

In 1975, the decision to admit girls was bold and forward-thinking. Today, the School is honouring the countless achievements of its female students, both in the classroom and on the field. As Rugby School’s official sportswear partner, Kukri Sports is proud to play a role in supporting these athletes with apparel designed to meet their unique requirements.

At Kukri, we understand that the demands of girls’ sport are not the same as boys’. Fit, functionality, and comfort all play a crucial role in performance, and we work closely with Rugby School to provide kit that reflects this. From ergonomic tailoring that ensures the right fit, to specialist fabrics that support movement and comfort, our female-focused designs empower girls to compete with confidence across every discipline.

Over the years, we have seen Rugby School’s female athletes thrive in a wide range of sports – from rugby and netball to athletics, hockey, and more – proudly wearing Kukri kit that has been thoughtfully created to match their sporting needs. This milestone provides a chance to celebrate not just 50 years of progress at Rugby School, but also the evolution of sportswear and the role it plays in enabling athletes to reach their potential.

Josh Beal, Sales Director at Kukri Sports commented; “At Kukri Sports, we’re incredibly proud to celebrate this landmark moment with Rugby School. For 50 years, the School has championed inclusivity and excellence, and we’re honoured to support their female athletes with kit designed to help them perform at their best. Partnering with such a progressive institution reflects our own commitment to equality, innovation and empowering every athlete to succeed.”

As we join Rugby School in commemorating this historic anniversary, Kukri is proud to reaffirm its commitment to inclusivity, innovation, and equality in sport – ensuring that every athlete, regardless of gender, has access to kit that helps them perform at their best.
