PSSP Primary Boccia

Monday 19th January 2026 – A great morning of sport today at Tor Bridge High – our fab team of Sports Leaders hosted 8 teams for one of our PSSP Primary Inclusion Boccia events. Children from Pilgrim, Thornbury, Cann Bridge and Widey Court came along to take part in our friendly event, aimed at developing new skills and having a lot of fun. On arrival each school was welcomed and introduced to the sport by our leaders. With a little time for practice, we then dove straight in with playing some games against another team. Boccia is a Paralympic sport that is played from a seated position. It is a target game that involves accuracy and strategy and more importantly, is a lot of fun. We don’t keep any scores at these events, instead the focus is on having fun, meeting other children from different schools and developing our target skills. On arrival the children often seem a little nervous but once we are underway, it is great to see so many smiling faces of children enjoying being active and learning something new. I would like to say a huge thank you to our Tor Bridge Sports leaders – you were so welcoming and really engaged with the children. Thank you as well to all of the staff who brought their children along today – I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. Check out the PSSP website for more upcoming Inclusion events.
