Gower College Swansea has launched an exciting new partnership with Ospreys Rugby, giving its sport students a new home at one of Swansea’s most iconic venues.

From this year, St Helen’s Rugby will become the new home of Gower College Swansea rugby, with students using the venue for learning, practical sessions and training. The College’s rugby team will also play its home fixtures there.

The partnership brings together Gower College Swansea and the Ospreys at an exciting time for St Helen’s, as the historic venue undergoes significant redevelopment and begins a new chapter at the heart of Swansea’s sporting community.

Rugby students will have the opportunity to use facilities that are also used by professional and semi-professional sportspeople, giving them the chance to experience what it is like to learn and train in a busy sporting environment.

The partnership comes as St Helen’s undergoes significant investment and redevelopment thanks to Swansea Council and the Ospreys.

The redevelopment includes a new all-weather 4G pitch, alongside improvements to the clubhouse, stands and wider site.

Ospreys will use St Helen’s as their home during the 2026/27 season, while the venue will also be used by Swansea RFC, Swansea University, schools and community clubs.

For Gower College Swansea students, this means learning and training in a professional venue, one that is in use throughout the week by teams and athletes at every level of the game.

Kelly Fountain, Chief Executive Officer of Gower College Swansea, is excited about how the partnership could develop, adding:

“This is a really exciting opportunity for our sport students and for rugby at Gower College Swansea
