Monday 09th February 2026 – Another fantastic event run by the Sports Leaders from Tor Bridge High and Cann Bridge. 5 teams from PSSP schools across the city came along to take part in our Primary and Special Schools Archery Festival. Children from Cann Bridge, Courtlands (x2 teams), Widey Court and Prince Rock all came along to learn some new skills and compete in different personal challenges events. As each team arrived they were introduced to the young leaders they would be working with all morning and they were taken through the key points of how to use the equipment; after a few quick practice arrows, we were straight in to the competition with each child having 3 chances to score as highly as possible with 3 arrows. Instead of competing against others, this personal challenge event is designed to encourage the children to improve at their own individual pace – striving to score more points with 3 arrows over several rounds. While they were waiting for their turn, there were Archery worksheets for the children to complete and a ‘school crest’ challenge which resulted in some very creative designs. After the highest score competition, each of the leaders took their group through some fun games and challenges. I would like to say a huge thank you to our leaders today both from Cann Bridge and Tor Bridge High – you were fantastic with the children and really ensured that they all had a great time! Thank you to all of the staff that brought their teams along today – I hope that you enjoyed watching our new archers as much as I did. I look forward to seeing you all at another event very soon.
