Each child’s two highest scores will be entered in to a ‘virtual’ competition against other schools to find ‘Horsham’s champion archer’.

James, aged eight, said, “It was amazing! It was my first time at archery and I was shocked when my arrow hit the bull’s eye. I’ve watched my sister before so it felt brilliant.”
