The Anchors are the youngest section of our company, age 5-8 years (school years 1-3, although some groups take members in reception, please check with individual groups). Like the other sections they also complete a number of skills, this earns them the Anchors achivement award.
Our uniform is a blue polo shirt and a bright red sweatshirt that makes us hard to miss!
A typical Anchors night will start off with games, after this the children can work on achievements or participate in Arts and Crafts. Being in Anchors is all about having fun - and there is plenty of opportunity for that!
