Bristol Grammar School (BGS) is an English public school that caters to boys and girls ages 4-18. Since its establishment in 1532, BGS has helped educate many notable alumni that have impacted the world society greatly through their professional achievements. In each student, BGS aims to instill a rich, stimulating and progressive learning experience to motivate students to contribute positively and compassionately to the world. With a strong focus on each individual, BGS aspires to support each student to ” flourish culturally, intellectually, morally, physically, emotionally and spiritually in a happy and nurturing environment through a wide range of far-reaching opportunities”.
Extracurricular activities, sports, in particular, are an important aspect of student life at BGS. At all ages and abilities, children are encouraged to become involved through both multi-level school teams and intra-house sporting tournaments. Sports are valued for the physical and mental health benefits, helping to foster a thriving student body that excels both inside and outside of the classroom.
Last week BGS held their official opening of their new synthetic turf pitch manufactured by Act Global. The men’s rugby team celebrated the opening with a scrimmage and mini-tournament to break in the new turf. Verde Recreo Ltd. designed and built the new field to meet both World Rugby Reg 22 and FIFA accreditation requirements. The 3G artificial grass field is an elite surface that is specifically engineered for intense and high impact play to keep the BGS rugby athletes safe. Due to the nature of rugby as a multi-season sport, Act Global’s high-quality synthetic grass is a perfect surface solution to withstand all weather and climatic conditions so that the team can play more hours a week and more days out of the year.
