Bosworth Academy congratulates former student, Emily Scarratt, on winning the World Cup. Emily produced the two stand out performances of the recent women’s Rugby World Cup in both the semi-final and final. She scored the match winning try in the close fought final against Canada and kicked 11 points. Her performance confirmed her as a global figure in the women’s game as England’s most influential player with her incisive running. The victory for England and Emily went some way to compensate for the disappointment of losing in the final to New Zealand four years ago. Emily, still only 24, with 54 caps to her name could become a record breaker in terms of points and caps. She is looking forward to the challenge of being a full time professional athlete following selection with the Sevens squad in preparation for the Rio Olympics, where Rugby 7’s will feature for the first time. Emily has been a great supporter of Bosworth since leaving in 2008. She has presented to both the senior leadership team training day and whole staff training looking at how aspects of preparation for elite sport could transfer into education, and more recently offered coaching session to budding young players as part of the Academy Open Day. Everyone at the Academy wants to congratulate Emily on her outstanding achievement and thank her for her continued support of her former school, Bosworth.
