36 students from local primary schools gathered in the gym yesterday for an archery competition.
The competition, which was organised by Mr Doughty as part of Carr Hill’s Sports Partnership Programme, was attended by 9 local primary schools and was delivered by coaches from local company Premier Sport who offer a range of sports and activities for young people across the Fylde Coast.
Our Sports Leaders enjoyed some training with Premier Sport last week to ensure they had the required subject knowledge to be able to assist the Premier Sports coaches throughout the afternoon competition. Sports Leader Adam said, “One of the reasons I enjoy being a Sports Leader is that we get opportunities like this to learn new skills and then pass them on to younger students when they visit us as part of the Sports Partnership Programme. The training session and the competition itself were both lots of fun”.
The schools each put forwarded an A team and a B team. Newton took the victory for Overall Highest scoring team and Highest Scoring A Team, whilst Wesham won the Highest Scoring B Team Category. Blake from Newton was the Highest Scoring Boy, whilst Harriet from Weeton-St-Michaels was crowned Highest Scoring Girl.
Sports Partnership Coordinator and PE Teacher Mr Doughty said, “It is great to be able to offer local primary schools opportunities to partake in sports and activities they might not otherwise have a chance to experience, and as always our own Sports Leaders did me and Carr Hill proud, approaching the task at hand with professionalism and maturity”.
