Leeds Schools Girls U12 Futsal League
The Leeds Schools Girls Futsal League for the U12s age group has just drawn to a close. Since September, the girls have played many fixtures and have been up against some tough opposition at times. The Year 7 girls have gone from strength to strength in their performances in each game throughout the league. They work well as a team and have demonstrated a fantastic attitude on the pitch, week in week out. Winning the majority of their games, and gaining the most goals in the league, the girls have successfully gained the winners' trophy. It is great to see so much sporting talent among the girls in this year group, we look forward to celebrating many more successful moments.

Parking
Rein Road & Scarborough Street
To ensure the safety of our students, we respectfully ask parents who drop off and collect their children on Rein Road to ensure they comply with the parking restrictions in place. It is prohibited for vehicles to wait on the single yellow line outside school (during the school day) and there is a speed limit of 20mph on the whole length of Rein Road. I would like to thank you for your ongoing consideration of our neighbours when parking on Rein Road or by the Scarborough Street/Lane entrance. Please ensure you take extra care when parking in these areas.
