News, events and schools' information for families across Bath and West Wiltshire

After a successful series of sports camps last summer, Discover Sports Camps are excited to introduce their Festival of Sport at Westonbirt School, taking place from Wednesday 3 to Friday 5 April. This energetic three-day residential camp offers a dynamic blend of sports training, team building and unforgettable experiences in the heart of the beautiful Cotswold countryside.  

All children in Years 3-9 are welcome to attend. A residential option will be open to students in Years 5-9, whilst the day option is designed for students in Years 3-4.  

Specialist Coaching 

With a choice of sports each day, the Festival of Sport offers an experience tailored to your child’s interests. Expert coaches are set to deliver high quality training in netball, football, rugby, hockey, cricket and tennis. Specialist coaching will be provided by Team Bath netball coach Gilly Salter, South African coaches with South Gloucestershire Cricket, Switch Rugby, Lucy Davies from Haberdashers Monmouth Hockey and many more. 

Beyond the scoreboard, the Festival of Sport will emphasise the importance of teamwork and camaraderie. Your child will forge connections and friendships with other players, while learning the value of collaboration both on and off the field. The camp will culminate in an awards ceremony and barbecue, which all parents are warmly invited to attend. 

A Unique Experience in the Cotswolds 

Attendees will have full use of the amazing site that is Westonbirt School throughout their stay. As well as its brand new astro pitch, the 25-metre pool and its very own leisure centre with a fully stocked gym, Westonbirt School is also widely recognised as ‘one of the most beautiful independent schools in the UK’, set amongst 210 acres of parkland grounds. 

Providing peace of mind for parents, Westonbirt School offers a secure and supportive boarding environment, and it is proud to be included in the ‘World’s Leading Boarding Schools’ 2023 report by Fortune, with a five-star review.  

For residential attendees, this experience goes beyond sports – it’s a fast-paced mini boarding adventure in the heart of the Cotswolds! It’s an opportunity to develop independence and create memories that extend far beyond the playing fields.
