Special Visit from Bristol Bears Rugby Prop, Lovejoy Chawatama!

Earlier this week, we were delighted to welcome Lovejoy Chawatama to West Buckland School as he spent the day shadowing Josh Lord, our Head of Rugby. As part of his professional development, Lovejoy chose WBS specifically for its outstanding rugby programme and the exciting future plans currently underway. Lovejoy had the opportunity to learn how to build, enhance and sustain a thriving school rugby environment.

Throughout the visit, Lovejoy also shared his insights on development, resilience and passion for the game. His journey in professional rugby offered real inspiration to our students.

🙌 A huge thank you to Lovejoy for spending the day with us, and to The Rugby Players Association for arranging this fantastic opportunity.
