Out of School Activities We can offer Archery as a part of your schools Out Of Schools P.E. provision. With structured sessions ensuring progression in a relaxed and fun environment and our own Achievement Award Scheme we can help you provide more opportunities for sporting participation across all Key Stages. Archery is a sport that has few boundaries when it comes to participation. Students as young as 8 can become involved in a sport that builds confidence and teaches self discipline. It is a particularly effective tool for reaching students with low sporting self esteem and those who find it difficult to get involved in mainstream team sports. Surveys have indicated that progress is being made towards the achievement of the Government's school sport Public Service Agreement Target. The target is to have increased the percentage of 5-16 year olds who spend a minimum of two hours each week on high quality PE and school sport to 85% by 2008. Archery is a sport where the success of the participants is not dependent on size or typical sporting ability. It is also a sport that requires high levels of self-discipline and concentration – skills that the teachers wanted to build through the initiative.
