Our partnership with Bristol Bears continues to go from strength to strength, providing outstanding opportunities for our students to develop within a professional rugby environment.

This season, 24 students are involved across the U15–U18 Bristol Bears programme, benefiting from the coaching, support and development opportunities available through the partnership.

The relationship also works both ways, with Mr Allan contributing to the coaching of the Bears’ U17/U18 programme and Mr Thompson supporting the U16s as their Athletic Development Coach.

By bringing together the expertise of both programmes, we are creating a strong pathway for young players to develop their technical, tactical and physical skills, while strengthening the connection between school rugby and the professional game.

We’re incredibly proud of what the partnership continues to achieve and look forward to seeing it develop further.
