A very tight group with many teams beating one another and no runaway winner, a goal in either of the draws - and there were chances! - would likely have been enough to see the boys qualify, but it was not to be. An unfortunately swift end to our cup run for a very talented Y5/6 boys team.

A fantastic final outing for the Y5/6 Boys Team, unbeaten on the day with not a single goal conceded! Some unfortunate 0-0 draws meant the team came in second place on the day but some excellent football was played, with an impressive record of 16 goals for and 0 against!

A great team performance by the girls, with a convincing win in one game, and, having gone a goal up, unfortunate not have made it two wins at the end. A great day out, and it was always going to be a big ask to replicate last year's success!

A great unbeaten day out for the Y3/4 boys team, but unfortunately only enough to get them second place in the group and not qualify for the semi-finals.

28/11/23 - Borough Cup, Round 1

Gidea Park Year 5/6 netball team faced off in three matches against Langtons, St Edward's and La Salette in their group stage games. The team applied all they had learnt in training this year and played their best netball to date, comfortably winning all three games and seeing themselves progress to the quarter finals!

27/2/24 - Borough Cup, Quarter Finals

With three months more training under their belts, the Year 5/6 netball team were primed and ready for their quarter final group stage, winning all but one of their games in a challenging group and qualifying for the semi-finals.

13/3/24 - Borough Cup, Finals

Spirits were high, as was the quality of the netball played. Unfortunately, despite the team's high hopes, this was not to be the school's second year in a row with representation at the London Youth Games, but the team can hold their heads high with a respectable 4th place finish out of all the primary schools in Havering.

Athletics

Cross Country

After training hard every week in September and October, the Year 5/6 cross country team competed in the Havering competition on Thursday 12th October. The team competed incredibly well across a challenging course, many runners placing very highly out of the 200 competitors per race. We are proud to say that for the third year in a row we had representation at the London Youth Games, after Ava in Year 6 finished in 7th place - huge congratulations to Ava.

Mini Marathon

In April, 50 children from KS2 travelled to London with their parents to run in the Mini Marathon, completing the last mile of the famous 26-mile course a day before the big race. Children and parents had a fantastic day out, with some great performances and a number of quick times - race results can be found on the website by searching for Wave 33. We are proud to share that of the 460 runners in Wave 33, three GPPS pupils came in the top 10, finishing in under 7 minutes - well done to Luke (Y4), Eddie (Y6) and Grayson (Y4)!

London Youth Games

This year, Ava in Year 6 qualified to represent Havering for cross-country after her 7th place finish in the Year 6 girls race.
