21st February 2025A Rogers
Yesterday the 2025 Stanhope Boccia Team went to Temple Park to compete against 26 other teams to win a place in the County Final.
We had prepared well so we went in feeling confident.
We had a past Boccia team expert helping us to coach this year so victory was assured.
After 10 tough matches, Stanhope A bowled home with a BRONZE medal and Stanhope C, grabbed a GOLD. We were so proud!
A big shout out to Stanhope B, who won all of their matches but just got pipped to a place in the quarter finals on points.
They all played so well!
I am very proud of them all and special thanks to our deputy coach who came back to school every Monday to coach and pass on his expertise.

After a long term of practise and training, the Boccia team attended the County Finals, at Gateshead Stadium, today. To say it was nail-biting is an understatement!
After coming runners up in our group, we were through to the semi-final. After a 3-1 win we were through to a very tense final.
We are pleased to announce that we won the final 6 points to 1 against Monkton, who played really well.
A huge congratulations to the team on the day and to the wider Boccia team, who have attended practises and competitions over the past few months.
We are all very VERY proud of them!!

South Tyneside Schools Boccia Finals 2024

27th March 2024A Rogers
What a day! We entered 3 teams, this year and each and every team played with confidence and control. Team A played well winning most of their games, Team B won all bar one game and Team C won half of their games.
The competition from other schools was very tough, this year and some matches rested on the score of the last ball, in the last match- honestly nail-biting stuff.
Teams A and B made it to the semi-finals but only team A made it to the play-offs.
Team A won a very respectable third place (bronze) by thoroughly beating Lord Blyton.
Special commendation to one year 6 girl who joined the team at the last minute and had NEVER played before!
Well done Stanhope, we are so proud of you- now on to the County Finals!

Yesterday was a brilliant day for Stanhope’s Boccia team. After attending after school practice sessions the 9 children were split into three teams for the event at Temple Park Centre.
We were among a total of 27 teams competing for a place at the county finals.
We were nervous but having an awesome time playing against some tough competition.
After playing great 8 games per team, it was results time.
Stanhope won first🥇, second🥈and fourth🎖️places. A huge well done to the children as the points scored by all teams were extremely close. We are very proud of our whole team and how hard they have worked to learn the game and be so skilled at it.

On Wednesday 2nd March the Stanhope Primary Boccia Team attended a competition at Temple Park Sports complex. We were competing against 20 teams from across South Tyneside. 

Stanhope played some pretty tough games against some great players. In some cases the final score came down to the final throw! Nail-biting stuff!

In the end, despite reaching the Semi-finals we were placed fourth overall. We are immensely proud of the team and all of their hard work practicing after school – well done Stanhope.

Our team 2 and 3 topped their groups to qualify for the quarter-finals, while team 4 finished in 3rd place and team 1 in 4th place within their groups to just miss out on reaching the last 8 knock-out stage.

Here Stanhope 3 were paired against St.Aloysius Juniors, they were beaten despite winning the first end, 3-2. In our other quarter-final Stanhope 2 lost out to Lord Blyton Primary 4-1.
