Whole School Events
Dance Spectacular
On Friday evening, dancers from Claire Marie Eden's afterschool club took part in a Dance Spectacular event at Headingley Rugby Stadium. It was a packed stadium with lots of children from schools across Leeds taking part.
The children have been learning the dance for the last couple of months as it includes multiple formations making it even more complex. Performing in front of such a large crowd takes courage and confidence and we are so proud of them all.
We were even treated to a group picture with Ronnie the Rhino and met some of the female Rhino players, who had just finished (and won) their game before the children took to the pitch.
A big thank you to the parents for organising transport and tickets and making the event so special for the children AND a HUGE thanks to Claire Marie for all her hard work getting the children ready and for giving up her time on the night. Thanks also to our glitter fairy for giving us extra sparkle!
It was certainly a night to remember - check out the pictures and movie below!
Tri-golf event at Cookridge Hall Golf Club
This week, a group of children from Years 5 and 6 took part in a 'come and try' golf event at Cookridge Hall Golf Club.

The grounds and facilities at Cookridge Hall Golf Club are great and they welcome young and new players. You can contact them and find out more on their website page: https://www.cookridgehall.co.uk/
Well done to everyone who took part and a special thanks to parents and grandparents who helped with the transport!
Brownlee Triathlon
This week, 35 children from Years 4 to 6 took part in the Brownlee Triathlon at the John Charles Centre for Sport. This is an annual event and is a fantastic introduction to triathlon for the children whatever their ability in the 3 disciplines of swimming, cycling and running.
The children listened to a safety briefing before swimming across 3 sides of the diving pool, followed by a cycle of 2 laps round the athletics track and finishing with a 400m run to the finish.
We were all very excited to see Johnny Brownlee in the spectator stand watching our children complete the course!!
The children showed great determination to complete each part of the event and received a goody bag when they passed over the finish line as well as a medal. We are so proud of them all!
Orienteering at Nunroyd
Children across Key Stage 2 took part in an orienteering event at Nunroyd Park this week. They worked in pairs to complete the orienteering course as quickly as possible. There was some excellent map reading and teamwork skills.
Well done everyone!
Tag Rugby Tournament at West Park RUFC
A group of Year 6 children took part in an extremely competitive tag rugby tournament this afternoon. They did brilliantly; passing, tackling and working together to improve with each game. The children played 5 games in total and showed great sportsmanship at the end of each match by shaking hands with their opponents. A real credit to our wonderful school!
There were some terrific tries and incredible runs towards our try line. Well done children - you were FANTASTIC!
Bee Netball Event
Whole School Orienteering Day
Yesterday, the children from Reception to Year 6 took part in an exciting Easter Extravaganza orienteering session. It was lovely to see the children using their orienteering skills and working together to complete the course.
Feedback from the children was extremely positive (there were lots of smiles and thumbs up) so we hope to be able to repeat similar experiences like this in the future!
Netball Friendly
A group of Year 5 and 6 children took part in a pre-tournament friendly match against Cookridge earlier this week. The children showed great teamwork, passing and marking skills. A HUGE thanks to Mrs Clarke and Mrs Wilkin who went with the team and to parents for organising transport for their child.
Our team of netballers are part of a league again this year and will be playing several games during the Summer Term!
West Yorkshire Cross Country Final
We were treated to some fine Yorkshire weather for the West Yorkshire Cross Country Final at Temple Newsam. We had our team of Year 5 boys' running as well as one boy from Year 3. They had qualified for this event at the Leeds Final a few weeks before.
We were incredibly proud of their performances. They ran their legs off over the undulating course and even left enough in the tank for a strong finish!
The competition standard was incredibly high with the best runners from Leeds, Calderdale, Bradford, Kirklees and Wakefield taking part.
Well done to all of the children who took part - You were AWESOME!!
Leeds Cross Country Final at Temple Newsam
Fifteen runners took part in the Leeds Cross Country Final at Temple Newsam today! We had 2 teams qualify (the Y4 and Y5 boys) plus 5 runners from across key stage 2.
It was a chilly and wet afternoon but that did not dampen our Guiseley team spirit! The children ran brilliantly and cheered each other on loudly and proudly!
We are incredibly proud of the children for qualifying for this event as well as the resilience they showed during the races - well done TEAM GUISELEY!!
Y5 and 6 Bench ball Competition
This week, a group of children from Years 5 and 6 took part in a competitive bench ball competition at Guiseley School. There were two other local primary schools taking part in the competition. Our team displayed brilliant team work and attack strategies throughout the event and really enjoyed the experience. Well done to Rufford Park, who won the competition.... we will be busy training for next year!!!
A HUGE thank you to Mr Kernohan and Mrs Armenian who took and supported the team!
Y6 Basketball Transition event
This week, a group of Year 6 children took part in a basketball event at St Mary's High School in Menston. The children participated in basketball drills with the City of Leeds basketball team and then progressed on to small sided basketball games.
All of the children were credit to the school and were able to experience what it will be like to take part in PE at high school, hopefully helping them to prepare for next year when they move up to Year 7!
Final Race News from Saturday Cross Country league
Last Saturday, saw the final race of this season's cross country Saturday league. Thank you to all of the children and parents who made it all the way over to Middleton! The conditions were great and the children ran brilliantly!
The 2025-2026 season will kick off again in October so look out for more information about this nearer the time. All children in Key Stage 2 are welcome to join in the fun!
Dodgeball and Sports Hall Athletics
It was a busy sporting week in school this week. A group of Year 5 children took part in a dodgeball competition at Horsforth High School at the beginning of the week and the week ended with a group of Year 6 children taking part in the Sports Hall Athletics event at Trinity University.
The children who took part in the dodgeball worked brilliantly as a team and they all showed great resilience and honesty throughout the competition. It was a very busy and noisy environment with 3 simultaneous games being played at once and everyone needed to be on the ball, including the spectators! A BIG thank you to the parents and carers who organised transport to and from the event.Your support was really appreciated!
The Year 6 children have been practising the events for both track and field during their lunchtimes with Mrs Clarke, in preparation for the Sports Hall Athletics event. Mr Ward, who took the team along with Mrs Benson and Mrs Steppenbeck, were incredibly proud of the children's running, throwing and jumping. Their behaviour and positive attitude and teamwork was also fantastic. Thank you to the parents who came and watched the team. Unfortunately, we have not progressed to the next round, but we are incredibly proud of the children's achievements.
Well done Team Guiseley!

A HUGE thank you to parents for transporting your children and for Mrs Balla and Mrs Sharpe who gave up their own time to support the team. Well done everyone!
Saturday League Cross Country
This weekend, the 2nd race in the Saturday League Cross Country took place at Cardinal Heenan. We had a record number of children take part in the first event a few weeks ago at Woodhouse Grove and another great turn out this weekend.
The children were brilliant at both events! Their resilience and strength to get round the course has been fantastic to see and it has been lovely to see familiar faces as well as new ones. The picture in the centre below highlights how our children work together and support one another.
A HUGE thank you to all the parents who have been a massive support with getting the children ready and supervising them before and after races.
