Paragon School Pupils Bring Colour and Community Spirit to Twerton Park

Twerton Park welcomed a lively and enthusiastic group of young visitors this week, as eleven pupils from The Paragon School in Bath took part in a special “Mini Paint the Park” event, a hands-on community initiative that brought energy, colour and a touch of elbow grease to one of the stadium’s walls.

Organised in collaboration with the Bath City Supporters Society, the project was coordinated by one of the Society’s Committee members and formed part of the school’s “QE Day”, an annual tradition where students take time out of the classroom to support a range of local charities and community-led projects across Bath.

The pupils rolled up their sleeves, grabbed their paintbrushes, and got to work transforming the wall directly in front of the popular MoBQ stand. For many, it was not only their first visit to Twerton Park, but possibly the first time the wall itself has had a fresh coat of paint in decades!

The children were full of questions about the Club and its history, intrigued by stories of Bath City’s 135-year legacy and the stadium’s place in the heart of the Twerton community. With a mixture of curiosity and pride, they embraced the opportunity to leave their own small mark on the grounds, helping to restore and refresh a part of the stadium that fans regularly pass on matchdays.

One of the Supporters Society organisers commented:

The kids were brilliant. They were really engaged, keen to do a good job, and full of energy. It was lovely to see them taking so much interest in the Club and the stadium — asking about the players, the history, and how they could get more involved.

This latest effort is part of a broader set of community engagement activities run by Bath City FC and its Supporters Society, which aim to bring people closer to the Club and create a space where everyone feels welcome, from long-time season ticket holders to first-time visitors and future fans.

For The Paragon School, the experience offered pupils a chance to get involved in a meaningful local project while also learning about the value of volunteering, teamwork, and civic pride.

The freshly painted wall, now gleaming with its clean coat, stands as a small but significant sign of what can happen when the community comes together,  and a reminder that Twerton Park is more than just a football ground. It’s a living, breathing part of the city’s story, made stronger by those who care for it.

We’d like to extend a huge thank you to The Paragon School and their pupils for their hard work and infectious enthusiasm. We look forward to welcoming them back to Twerton Park soon, maybe next time as fans in the stands, cheering on the Romans!
