On Tuesday, 24th of September,  ACE hosted an Under 9s football tournament with Power Play, one of our partnership links, Steven Bailey from Powerplay is a parent at school and he helped to organise the event, provided medals and the trophy, as well
as some football cards to give to all the children who took part. 

We were delighted to have the following school with us,  Alwoodley, Meanwood,
St Urbans, St Paul’s and Primley Wood. The sun was shining and the atmosphere was friendly, calm and very competitive.

ACE l and ACE 2 were drawn to play each other.
In the semi finals and it was a tight game. ACE 1 scored and took their place in the final along side St Paul’s who knocked St Urbans out in an exciting penalty shoot out. 

The final was very competitive but Yasa scored to allow the ACE I team to lift the trophy. champions again for the Under 9s squad. We had some new Year 3 children, on both teams and they looked very comfortable with their new roles. 

We would like to thank all staff, from all the schools,  who worked so hard to make this a fun event.  The children were amazing and Bradford Park Ave provided the referees.

Fun Run!

Some of our KS2 children were chosen to go on a Fun Run reward trip as they had excelled in the Summer 1 half term. The children had lots of fun racing each other and other schools around the 2km circular route. We were then lucky enough to have some time left over to go and play in the park.

The children were so thankful and grateful to be taken on the reward trip.

A strong week of ACE football!

A wonderful week for Allerton CE football was topped off yesterday with another victory and a clean sheet, once again!

On Tuesday we travelled to Shadwell Primary. Goals from Alex, Jeremiah and Lucas guided ACE to a 3-0 victory. Shout out to Oscar for some outrageous saves – one even earned him a high five from the Shadwell coach!

Back to back, we hosted St Paul’s on Thursday, claiming another clean sheet and a 2-0 victory with goals from Alex and Jeremiah.

Well done to Jeremiah for earning player of the game in both matches, voted for by the opposition.

Courageous Cross Country runners!

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!
