Rugby (England): Rugby School

 

Subject

Rugby School is a renowned independent institute. It is famous not only for academic reasons, but also because of the namesake sport – which was allegedly invented there in 1823 by William Webb Ellis, a pupil who first scored a goal carrying the ball with the hands.

This is an expensive fee-paying institute, although impecunious students can enter it with scholarships. As in many other private schools in the world, boys and girls must follow a dress code — an example of which you can see depicted in my photo. Despite what people think, the dress code is not used for snobbish reasons, but just to make it clear that any Rugby School's pupil is worth the same as the others, does not matter if rich or poor.
