Congratulations to our assistant principal Sarah Nolan who has led her Boccia UK team to a silver medal at the World Championships in Rio, a result that means they are now officially top of the world rankings.
Boccia is a sport designed for athletes with high support needs, typically cerebral palsy, and has no Olympic equivalent. It is similar to wheelchair boules or petanque and is played indoors with soft leather balls.
Sarah combines her role at Northampton College with a key position at Boccia UK, the sport’s national governing body, coaching the British BC1/BC2 Team and working as personal assistant to two times individual paralympic gold medallist David Smith.
