Welcome ✋
Have a look HERE for sites near you.
The usual advice is to rent for your first 3 games so you can then be registered with a UKARA number. (So you can buy realistic black toys Ooh-Er)
it will give you a taste for the sport before spending too much money on toys and other things.
You'll be able to meet others and ask questions.
You'll be able to see shooty toys that other use to get a better idea what you'll want.
...and of course do LOADS of reading here on the forum as most questions have been answered so its just a case of searching 😉
Its sad that our education system is under left influence but there is no gain trying to fight them directly.
As stated by many above, its best to engage with the head and explain the situation calmly.
