Students from across Corby, Kettering and Wellingborough visited our Academy to take part in a Project Ability Boccia Tournament today.

Eighty primary and secondary school students took part in the tournament, including students from CBA.

Project Ability aims to enable more young disabled students to take part in competitive sport and the non-contact precision ball sport of boccia, which is related to bowls, tests a player’s skill rather than their speed or strength.

The tournament was organized by the Corby, Oundle and Thrapston School Sports Partnership (COTSSP) and was supported by more than a dozen Young Leaders from CBA.

COTSSP School Sport Manager Matthew Peleszok said: “Tournaments like this one ensure that all school students have the opportunity to learn through competition.

“It teaches them how to work as individuals and as a team which will help them later in life in the workplace.

“All the competitors have done well and the Young Leaders from CBA have also been excellent.”

Little Stanion Primary School won the primary section of the tournament and Lodge Park Academy won the secondary school section.

They will go through to the county round which will be held at KLV on February 25^th 2016.
