On Friday 11^th December the upper school took part in a colour team netball tournament. After some very exciting matches, the Green Team were the overall winners.

Congratulations to all children who took part, as the games were of a very high standard this year.

During the week of October 5^th all children took part in a sponsored run to raise money for the building of Crossley Heath’s sports hall.

Every child ran with such amazing speed and stamina. They had twenty minutes to run as many laps as possible around the football field. Upper IV boys managed to run the most laps but were closely followed by Middle IV boys.

At present we have raised £1.138.45! Thank you very much for your enormous generosity.

On Saturday 20^th June The Gleddings netball team took part in the St Joseph’s invitational tournament at Brighouse High School. We had a fantastic morning of sport with our team winning all their matches in their section. They went on to the semi - finals and won 6 - 0. After a very close match the opposition beat our team by 1 goal, so we became the runners - up of the tournament.

On Tuesday 30^th June, eighteen Gleddings children took part in the Calderdale Schools’ gymnastics display. They performed their sequence with poise and control. They looked wonderful in their colourful T- shirts and we all had a most exciting evening.

On May 6th we took part in the Calderdale Schools’ Gymnastics competition.
Our team wore their new leotards; they looked fantastic and performed superbly.

On April 25th our team participated in the Sowerby Bridge schools’ netball tournament. We went through to the semi-finals and won our match against Sacred Heart School. We reached the finals and, after a very tough match, we became runners-up of the 2009 tournament. Well done team!

Netball clubs run throughout the year. We play matches against local schools and participate in two tournaments during the year.
We play ‘High Five’ netball, which is where the children rotate the positions during every quarter.

A ‘taster’ session of archery took place during the Autumn term. All children thoroughly enjoyed themselves and learnt new skills.
