Fun filled RunAbility Session supporting Downs Syndrome athletes. Building confidence, friendships, agility, balance, coordination and endurance in a relaxed friendly setting. At the Hawkinge Community Centre Saturday 29th February 2020 10am – 11am

18 pupils from zone 2 took part in the Physical Disability Sports Festival in Maidstone on 4th December.  This, like Boccia, was an inclusive event tailored to the needs of the pupils who haven’t represented the school in other events.  The event included Athletics, Sitting volleyball, Boccia and Dance activities.  

12 pupils from zone 2 and 9 pupils from zone 3 represented The Beacon at the Kent School Games Boccia qualifying event hosted at St Anselms Schools on 26th November.  All of The Beacon teams were hugely competitive and represented the school with enormous pride and enjoyment which enabled them to put their physical competence into practice as well as build their character, resilience and team cohesion skills.  It was wonderful to see them all conduct themselves so competitively whilst demonstrating true sportsmanship throughout the event.  We are still awaiting the results from other competitions before we find out how many of our 6 teams have qualified for the Finals event in March.

4 pupils from zone 2 and 5 pupils from Zone 3 represented The Beacon at the Kent School Games indoor rowing qualifying event hosted at Highworth Grammar on Thursday 12th December.  They conducted themselves with the utmost maturity in the company of their mainstream counterparts.  We’re delighted to reveal that every one of them qualified for the Kent School Games Finals event being held on Friday 31st January and we wish them the best of luck!
