Trafford Leadership Festival – Cloverlea Primary School (07.05.26)
On Thursday 7th May, a group of our Year 5 children attended the Trafford Leadership Festival at Cloverlea Primary School as part of their ongoing Sports Leadership qualification.
During the event, the Year 5 leaders were responsible for planning, organising, and delivering activities to multiple groups of Year 2 pupils from schools across the local area. The children showed fantastic leadership skills throughout the day, demonstrating confidence, communication, teamwork, encouragement, and responsibility while leading their sessions.
The Park Road Year 2 group thoroughly enjoyed the experience, taking part in a wide range of fun and engaging activities delivered both by our own leaders and by sports leaders from other schools attending the festival. The event created a brilliant atmosphere full of energy, teamwork, and positivity.
It was wonderful to see our Year 5 children representing Park Road so well while successfully completing another important part of their Sports Leadership qualification. Well done to everyone involved for a fantastic day!
Sale Summer Cup (Year 3/4) – 24.04.26
The Year 3/4 team took part n the Sale Summer Cup, competing in a closely contested group where every result proved crucial.
The opening game saw Park Road narrowly beaten 1–0 by St Joseph’s, in a tight match that could easily have gone either way. The team responded brilliantly, showing resilience and determination to bounce back with a 1–0 win over St Vincent’s, thanks to a well-taken goal.
Confidence continued to grow in the next fixture, with another strong performance leading to a 1–0 victory against Brooklands. The team showed excellent organisation and composure, securing back-to-back wins and putting themselves firmly in contention for progression.
The final group game against Springfield ended in a hard-fought 0–0 draw, with Park Road once again demonstrating their defensive strength. Unfortunately, despite their strong performances, the team were narrowly knocked out on goal difference, highlighting just how competitive the group was.
In the 5th place playoff, Park Road faced Park Road Sale in another close encounter. The team battled well throughout but were edged out 2–1 in a game that could have gone either way.
Overall, it was a positive tournament with plenty of encouraging performances. The team showed great resilience, teamwork, and determination throughout, and can be proud of how they competed. Well done to everyone involved!
