Last week 13 students from Year 4, 5 and 6 represented ACE at one of the biggest school Cross Country events to date. Our Year 4 boys and girls had to run 900m around a mapped out course at Roundhay Secondary School and the Year 5s and 6s had to go the extra distance and brave 1500m.

There were 30 schools participating and over 100 children in each race. It was a huge challenge but each of them stepped up and completed the race. The support the children had for each other and other schools was outstanding, always clapping and cheering each other on. It was a tough challenge but they all did us proud! 3/4s of our runners made top 50 which is brilliant. The children were given great praise and you could see they succeeded for themselves and the school.

A special mention to Ben Chambers (4C), Erin Winter (5P) and Ivy Morley (6C) who all made it in the top 20 and have individually made it through to the next round to represent North East Leeds!

We are extremely proud of all 13 children who represented ACE!
