Stanningley Primary School

On Wednesday 5th July, each class took part in our School Games Competition (Spirit Alive) on the school playground (due to the wet weather preventing us from accessing the park). The children competed in different coloured teams. Each colour, represented a country that the children had been busy learning about in class. The children taking part all earned points for their team, which were then added together to create our final results.

On Tuesday 6th June 2017, we were very proud to take 4x YEAR 4 children to represent Stanningley at the SSP MINI-TENNIS FINAL AT ARMLEY TENNIS CLUB.
