School Competitions & Games

 

Stafford School compete in National
Tri Golf Final at  Loughborough

 

Tillington Manor Primary School scored the highest points total in the Country for the National Tri Golf Competition and then competed against 12 other schools throughout the UK to finish 4th overall.
 

19 First and Primary Schools from Stafford and Stone took part in several Tri Golf festivals hosted at Middle and High School venues, organised by the Stafford and Stone School Sport Partnership.

Schools took part in 8 stations chipping, putting and driving all skills associated with golf. Scores are collected from each station and totalled up for a final score from each school.

 

 
The winning school from each festival sent score card to the Golf Foundation and a winner from across the West Midland Region was selected and that was Tillington Manor Primary School.

 

Over 80 Leaders from high schools across the Partnership were trained to help organise and make these festivals fun and challenging.

 

Two young leaders from Sir Graham Balfour High School were selected to officiate throughout the National Final and were praised for their excellent leadership skills from the National Development Manager for The Golf Foundation.

Tillington Manor Primary then took part in the National Final held at Loughborough to coincide with the “Ryder Cup”

 

The pupils worked extremely hard throughout the event and finished 4th overall, competing against schools from Scotland, Wales and as far south as Bournemouth.

Brocton Golf Club provided training prior to the National Final and a club link for any budding golfers to continue their skills.
