Gidea ParkSport
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.
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.

- GPPS 0-1 St Joseph's
- GPPS 1-0 Towers
- Grayson L
In a tight group with no runaway winner, the team's 7 point haul had them in first place, with second place Nelmes having one game to go. A draw would have kept Gidea Park at the top, but a last gasp winner from Nelmes against Drapers saw them leapfrog to the top of the table and leave the GPPS boys team in second place. They played some great football and were very unlucky not to come out on top; an edgy wait now to see if any second-placed teams will qualify for the next round!

It took one game to find their shooting boots, but once they did there was no stopping the boys' B Team, who came away comfortable victors out of the seven teams at the tournament. Thanks to some heroics from Harry G in goal, the team came within minutes of ending the whole tournament with a clean sheet - all the children should be very proud of their perforamnce on the day.
26.3.26 - Cup Round 2
- GPPS 1-2 Rise Park
- Charlie
Despite a strong team performance, the boys' cup run was cut prematurely short after they failed to find more than a consolation goal after Rise Park capitalised on two lapses of concentration.

4.3.26 - Tournament Semi-Finals and Final
The team acquitted themselves well and showed great teamwork and determination, but unfortunately a semi-final defeat put an end to their impressive run. They should of course be very proud to name themselves among the top 4 netball teams in Havering!
Fixtures
Athletics
There are a number of events over the course of the school year which give children from all year groups the opportunity to participate in a range of activities. These include cross country, sportshall athletics, quad kids and our annual school sports day.
Cross Country
Children in Year 5 and 6 started the year off training hard for October's competition; this work paid off with some fantastic individual and team results, over a difficult 2km course with around 35 schools and 200 pupils in each race.
On a team level, Year 6 boys came in an impressive 2nd place overall, while individually there were great results for a number of pupils, particularly Lily who came in 1st place in the Year 5 girls' race!
We also had an amazing four Y6 children - two boys and two girls - who came in the top 10, thereby qualifying to represent Havering at the London Youth Game this year - well done to Joseph, Luke, Ava and Violetta.
Sportshall Athletics
Trials for Sportshall Athletics took place in the Autumn Term, with teams training hard ahead of their respective tournaments. Well done to all for their highly-placed finishes against the other Havering schools:
Year 5/ 6 - 3rd place
Year 3/4 - 7th place
Year 2 - 3rd place
Year 1 - 5th place
Quad Kids
Quad Kids competitions are held in the summer term. Children from Year 1-6 participated in trials at the end of the Spring Term, and teams have begun to train weekly since the break.
Full details and results for previous competitions can be found on the Quad Kids website.
Other Events
Children also have the opportunity to compete in a number of other events over the course of the year; in the past these have included tag rugby, climbing, cricket, rounders, orienteering, scavenger hunt, skipping and more. These will be communicated to pupils and parents as relevant over the course of the year.
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.
This year, 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).
Havering Sports Council: Primary Team of the Year
We are very proud to have been winners of the Havering Primary Team of the Year for three years in a row, from 2021-2024, awarded at the annual Havering Sports Council awards!
