On Sunday 9 January, Leweston School students and members of staff took a trip up to Bath to support Bath Rugby against the Worcester Warriors in the premiership match.
Leweston became part of the Bath Rugby Schools Programme in September 2021. The programme will provide the students with unique experiences and training and enable them to engage with the wider Rugby Club. On 31 October, in partnership with Bath Rugby, Leweston hosted a Rugby Masterclass Roadshow and welcomed over 80 boys and girls of all abilities, aged between 7 to 16 years old, from across the local community to engage in the Masterclass in order to promote the game and develop skills. As part of the programme, boys and girls will have the opportunity to receive high-quality rugby coaching sessions, training sessions at Bath Rugby’s elite training facility – Farleigh House, meet and train with Bath First-Team players, as well as a Girls Masterclass event and the Bath Rugby Roadshow with access to three RFU Level 2 qualified coaches.
Bath 'NextGen' is designed specifically to cater for the next generation of players and supporters aged between 4 and 16, providing exclusive access to child-friendly content, unforgettable family experiences and fantastic competitions.
Mr Cannon, Head of Leweston Rugby, and all of Leweston students, are very excited to get stuck into the programme.
Both staff and students had a thoroughly enjoyable and action packed day supporting Bath Rugby on the side-lines and even got to be Flag Bearers, just a few feet away from the team!
