Team Edwards have been at it again, competing in a variety of athletics events at WV Active in Aldersley. This even gave the opportunity for children from Year 1 all the way to Year 6 to have one last run and jump for the year. We came away with so many medals: Ruben came third in the KS1 boys sprint. Honey came first in the KS1 girls sprint and obstacle race. Callum came third in both the LKS2 boys Sprint and 800m races. Shakeree came second in the UKS2 sprint and obstacle.

Our final Wolverhampton competition of the year arrived with a bang. Perfect weather for the occasion and the perfect children to take part! With a variety of events ranging from long-distance races and sprints to the long jump, every event was filled. Our children made it through to five finals: Ryley in the 400 metres, Shakeree in the long jump and 150 metres, Jess in the obstacle race, and Tomiwa in the 80 metres.

What an afternoon we have had! Atter a steady start holding both Goldthorn Park, Tipton Green and Elston Hall to a draw - we were feeling positive. Goals were then our focus. In our third game, which against Pheasey Park we began our hunt for goals! Finley rose to the challenge by scoring 2 amazing goals. We had fantastic defending from Jorgie, our wall that no ball could break. Kaleb, who kept his eyes firmly on the last man, ensured our keeper wasn't under too much pressure

Our Year 3 and 4 boys have been more than excited to take part in the Tony McGinn football tournament at the Wolves training ground in Compton. After a loss to start with, we then followed up with two draws. Fantastic goals from Tyler-Jai, Oscar and Alex! Our final game was where we really shone! A phenomenal win against Palmers Cross, with Captain Oscar even scoring a hatrick!! What an amazing day, so proud of all our team! Bring on next football season!

Edward the Elder had a wonderful opportunity to take part in the baton journey to celebrate the start of the Commonwealth Games 2026. We had a drone follow our touch bearers gathering all of our Edwards team from Nursery through to Year 6. We all then gathered on KS2 playground where we recreated the Commonwealth logo. A great team showing from Team Edwards yet again!!

We are delighted to announce that Edward the Elder Primary School has achieved the Gold School Games Award for the fourth consecutive year. The School Games Award recognises schools for their commitment to developing competition, participation, and healthy lifestyles through sport and physical activity. Achieving Gold status once again is a fantastic accomplishment and reflects the hard work, enthusiasm, and dedication of our children, staff, and wider school community.

After two games being cancelled and one rearranged, we finally got to play a league football game in 2026. Thanks to children and parents for being so understanding with the disappointment. We travelled to Corpus Christi with a strong team of 11 children. As a team we showed our strength right from the back with Jorgie our goalkeeper booting the balls down the to halfway line to give our attackers the best opportunities to get as close to the net as possible. Two strong goals
