Sport

We place a high value on sport at Gidea Park Primary School, and children are given the opportunity to compete and represent their school at a number of different events over the course of the year, many of these being organised by Havering Sports Collective. Below you will find details about our involvement in a variety of competitive sporting events including football, netball, athletics and more. You will also find links to results from previous years to see how we have performed historically.

Clubs

Part of our success in sporting competitions comes from the work our children put in to train and prepare for events and tournaments. We run training sessions for our sports teams before and after school to prepare them for local competitions, which form part of our clubs offer; please see the clubs page via the below link to find out more information about what we offer at the school.

Clubs

Football

At Gidea Park we run football teams in Year 5/6 for both boys and girls. Teams train weekly and have the opportunity to play in friendly matches against local schools, as well as competing in other local league and cup competitions. We also run training for Year 3/4, who will also compete in both friendly matches and borough competitions throughout the year. Friendly competitions against local schools also take place for children in Year 1-2, normally in the summer term.

London Youth Games

Many of the borough competitions which we enter as a school are pathways, on either an individual or a team level, to the London Youth Games, the largest annual sporting event in Europe. We are immensely proud that over the years we have had a number of children qualify to represent the borough and compete against talented athletes from all across London.

In 2025/26, we are proud that four of our students - Joseph, Luke, Violetta and Ava - represented Havering in the Cross-Country event.

In 2023/24, Ava in Year 6 qualified to represent Havering for cross-country after her 7th place finish in the Year 6 girls' race.

In 2022/23, after her impressive performance and second place finish in the Havering Cross Country event, Lucie in Year 6 qualified to represent the borough. Our Year 5/6 girls' football team were also awarded this honour after winning the Havering tourament, facing winning teams from other London boroughs.

In 2021/22, we were fortunate to be represented in cross-country at the games by six of our Year 6 children (Connor, Olly, Harry, Oliver, Skye and Erin).
