DLP Boccia Tournament 2016

On Friday 29th April 2016, Ratcliffe School hosted the second annual Boccia Tournament to be held within the Dawlish Learning Partnership. Children from schools across the  Partnership came together to learn how to play Boccia and then had a friendly competition where teams played against each other in a knockout competition.

Boccia is an inclusive seated bowling game and involves two teams playing against each other to bowl their balls as close to the ‘jack’ as possible.

The event proved to be a very positive experience for all teams involved and all pupils seemed to enjoy the calm, relaxed atmosphere associated with the game, with the ‘knock out’ competition adding some excitement to proceedings.

In total, 9 teams took part representing Ratcliffe, Cockwood, Westcliff, Kenn, Starcross, Kenton, & Exminster Primary Schools. A special mention must be given to the Kenn team who won the competition but also a very big well done to all those who took part and made the afternoon so successful.
