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

A fantastic team effort from our Cross Countey team who took part in a long distance race at Rakegate primary school. The boys ran first, with Finley (Year 6) and Callum (Year 4) leading the way, followed closely by Ryley and Tomiwa (both Year 6) a fantastic team and supportive team run! The girls ran second with Shareen leading the way followed by Neve, Olivia, Bella and Jess (All Year 6). Clear determination shown by our five girls. Thanks for the parents that came to watc

A fantastic afternoon at Aldersley Leisure Villa where Edward the Elder was represented by eight year 4, 5 and 6 children at the Bowls tournament on Wednesday. Our two teams wowed us and others with their great teamwork, timing, patience, and support of one another! We played over 10 games during the day it was jammed packed! Team A came 3rd in their group and Team B came 4th in their group. A great effort all round. We are so proud of our Edwards team! Well done! Mrs Harper

Our first Dodgeball Competition was last week and what a great performance from Team Edwards! Four rounds of games with different schools and several rounds in each, balls were flying left, right and centre. There was plenty of jumping and ducking, diving and deflecting and a constant show of pride for our school! A massive well done to all the Year 5 and 6 children involved, you did our Edwards family so proud! Mrs Harper 😀

The second league mixed football game took place at the end of our first half term. The children were very excited the play this second fixture, with some fresh faces taking to the pitch the game was set. Long Knowle arrived with an Entourage of supporters, but our support base didn't let us down and arrived in full force. We had parents and carers, current pupils, previous pupils and staff all out to show their support - this was just wonderful to see! We started the match

Our first Mixed game and what a game it was! We hosted St Patricks on Thursday 9 th October. The team were ready and raring to go! We played like a real team and were unlucky to loose 3-1. Initially we took the lead with Jenson (Y5) scoring from a deflection from St Patricks keeper. St Patricks keeper or Go Go gadget arms kept them in the game the rest of the first half making out of this word saves as Edwards attacked their goal on multiple occasions. During the second half

On Tuesday 30th September we took two teams of Year 5 and Year 6 children to take part in this years first mixed boys and girls cross country competition at Ford houses Cricket Club. Both teams were full of excitement and anticipation. After a warm-up around the course so that all the children were familiar with where and how far they would have to run, their numbers were pinned to their tops, and the race was ready to commence. 32 teams took part and as always it was run imp
