Archery in Schools

[Capt. Al]

Hi does anyone know of any schools in NI who teach Archery as part of their G.C.S.E P.E exams.

Or for that matter any schools who do Archery at all?

I dont know about up North but in the south there are several schools who offer archery as an optional sport. Most are in Dublin and Wicklow

Was told that there might be a school in Belfast which might do Archery but at what level I don't know. No one can give me the right name either which doesn't help.

They think it might be called Cambridge house or Campbell house or something like that anyone got any idea?

If I recall correctly from my days in NI, Cambridge House is a Grammar School in Ballymena and Campbell College is a Grammar School in Belfast.

I know there used to be a club at RBAI (Royal Belfast Academical Institution) which was kind of overseen by Ian Condron. This was a good 10 years ago. Dont know if its still running though.

i know that this hasent been commented on in a while but...Campbell College does archery, Slemish College and so does Ballyclare High School (but from what i hear about Ballyclare High school the equipment is not the best, they leave there bows up all the time and that they would need a good dose of coaching) they are the ones that i know of. as for GCSE PE Anna from our club (MCA) was not allowed to do archery for her PE GCSE as the board for the GCSE did not class it as a well enough known sport or something like that.
