Before announcing the winners of the 2018 competition, Mrs Stott-Moore spoke about the day and the way that every single child in school was included. She spoke about the Olympic values of Friendship, Respect and Excellence. Before discussing the four Paralympic values of Determination, Inspiration, Courage and Equality. The values underpinned the 2012 Olympic Games in London but they are a set of universal principles that can be applied to education and our lives, as well as to sport itself. The whole school applauded the GREEN TEAM winners as they came out to the front of the hall, to receive their medals. The final applause, was a participation applause, for all of the children that participated. We are very proud of all of our STANNINGLEY SUPER STARS!

Wow, Sports Day 2018 was a massive success. The morning drizzle did not stop KS1 from having a brilliant morning. The afternoon weather improved and KS2 enjoyed a fabulous afternoon. What a brilliant day we have all had at our annual Sports Day. Thank you to all the adults who came along to show support, this was much appreciated. Sports Day offers the opportunity for all children in school to engage in competitive sports and activities. The National Curriculum Physical Education, purpose of study states, 'A high-quality physical education curriculum inspires all pupils to succeed and excel in competitive sport and other physically-demanding activities.

The Brownlee Foundation has been set up by Alistair and Jonny so they can give something back to the Leeds School community.

The Brownlee Triathlon Event encourages children to try a new sport and inspire them to be the next generation of Brownlees.

Tri-Golf is genuinely inclusive as it suits all abilities; every child can succeed in the games and with the flexibility between individual play and team interaction, it engages well with youngsters who might not want to play a traditional team sport. Tri-Golf promotes Skills for Life attributes including co-operation, good sportsmanship and concentration and is designed to be used across curriculum learning.
