Playing for Success is an exciting and successful educational initiative that aims to provide high-quality, out-of-school-hours learning activities based at sports grounds. The programme uses rugby and other sports as motivational tools, and focuses on raising standards in literacy, numeracy and ICT amongst Keystage 2 and Keystage 3 pupils who may not be achieving their full potential in mainstream education. There are now over 150 PfS centres nationally.

Playing for Success at Hunslet Hawks is offered to local Primary and High Schools, who select the pupils they think will benefit most from the 10 week programme.
