The Academy also hit the news with a sporting activity – Handball. Handball is a Gaelic game which is basically squash without a racket; it has featured in our sports’ curriculum for the last year and ‘England Handball’ the English team, who are the current European champions, use the Academy as their training base. For this reason, the BBC came to Saint Paul’s to see how this increasingly popular sport is making an impact in a very low cost, low maintenance sport and for these reasons can be accessed by anyone anywhere. Saint Paul’s featured several times on the BBC Breakfast Programme on Saturday 15 January and the item can still be viewed on You Tube.
