A FORMER student of Wellsway School in Keynsham has sponsored a new rugby kit for the school’s senior teams.
Matt Sheppard, who runs a sports mentoring business in the town, said he was delighted to support the school’s senior sides.
“I can still recall the immense pride I felt representing my school and I hope that the current students will experience that same sense of accomplishment when they wear these new shirts. Sport – rugby in particular – offers a fantastic opportunity to instil positive habits, foster teamwork and strengthen our community.”
Rhod Evans, Wellsway’s curriculum director of PE, said: “We are continually exploring ways to develop, improve and expand our sports programmes. This sponsorship represents more than just new kits; it’s a step forward in nurturing our students’ talents and passion for sports.”
Wellsway School headteacher Rob Pearsall said: “We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Matt Sheppard and Switch Mentoring. Their support highlights the power of community collaboration, helping us provide our students with the resources they need to thrive.”
