AFTER SCHOOL sports activities around the borough usually involve football, rugby, hockey etc. So it is a surprise to see archery flourishing at Ockendon Academy.
Year eight student, Thomas Boatman took up archery just over a year ago. He is a member of the flourishing West Essex Bowman who practise over at Belhus Country Park.
But headteacher, Mrs King at the outstanding school have given Thomas and his sister permission to use the gym hall for further practise.
YT spoke to the Boatman’s to see how their archery career is coming along.
