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!

Seven children from KS2 were selected to represent Allerton C of E Primary School in the Active Schools Inclusive Sports Hall Athletics Competition which was held at The John Charles Centre for Sport. The children took part in a range of running, jumping and throwing events and they were absolutely fantastic so much so that they have been selected to represent Leeds at the West Yorkshire School Games which will be held in March 2017.

What a fantastic morning we had at the ‘Active Schools Inclusive Sports Hall Athletics’.

7 children from Key Stage 2 were selected to take part in a variety or running, jumping and throwing events in what was a really fun packed morning at The John Charles Centre for Sport. The children worked really hard in all of the activities and showed real commitment and determination to succeed. There efforts were not in vain as the team were selected to represent Leeds at the West Yorkshire School Games in Huddersfield on Wednesday 8th March 2017.

A huge well done to all involved.

Twenty children from KS1 tested their steel at the ‘Active Schools KS1 Sports Hall Athletics’ event held at Farsley Celtic F.C. The children participated in several track and field events throughout the day. It was a great introduction to the Sports hall athletics concept and all involved showed real talent and determination.  Well done all!
