This time of year the Year 6 children participate in the Archbishop of York’s Young Leadership Award. 

The course helps us to think about the skills needed to become young leaders. We look at a sample of world leaders and inspirational people to help us understand what it means to be a good leader. We are encouraged through the scheme to be active in our homes and community. 

For our action project we organised and ran stalls at our school summer fayre. We raised an amazing £106…..well done Year 6!

Reporter: Freddie Freeman
Date: Thursday 22nd May 2025
Venue: Selby High School

The Year 4 football team from Cawood Primary put on a fantastic display of teamwork, determination, and skill at Selby High School on Thursday 22nd May. Competing in a series of matches, the team won two out of three in the group stages, showing resilience and spirit after a narrow loss in one game. Their efforts earned them a well-deserved place in the final — and they rose to the occasion brilliantly, securing a memorable victory!

From the first whistle, the team worked tirelessly for each other, combining smart passing with gritty defending. Ted impressed with his dynamic runs down the wing, constantly threatening the opposition with pace and creativity. Travis was rock-solid in goal, pulling off a string of outstanding saves that kept Cawood in the game when it mattered most.

Defensive duties were handled brilliantly — Freddie L made several crucial interceptions, while Fred R put his body on the line to stop some powerful shots. Their determination and focus helped keep the opposition at bay and gave the team a strong foundation to build from.

In midfield, Henry showed great awareness and movement, consistently finding space and linking play. Joey and Samuel were a formidable duo, combining well to put in some superb challenges and win the ball back for their team.

Special mention to Freddie F, who helped get the team match-ready with great warm-ups — a brilliant show of team spirit and leadership.

Every player contributed to what was a brilliant team effort. The final whistle in the last game was met with cheers, as Cawood were crowned champions – a well-earned reward for their teamwork, sportsmanship, and determination.

Well done to all the players involved – a performance to be proud of!
