We attended a cross-country event run by the Leeds Well Schools Partnership on Friday at Roundhay School. We took four children from Years 4, 5, and 6, and each of them ran amazingly—Years 3 and 4 completed a challenging 900m course, while Years 5 and 6 tackled an impressive 1800m distance, both of which are an extremely long way. With over 100 children competing in every race, we are incredibly proud of all our ACE students for their determination and effort.

A special shoutout goes to Ben in Year 6, who qualified through to the next round, taking place in February 2026, by finishing 7th out of 100. This is an outstanding achievement, made even more remarkable by the fact that Ben has now qualified for the third consecutive year.
