Welcome
Habits of success

Welcome to Ark Blacklands Primary Academy. We are a community primary school that serves the local children of Hastings. Our staff make a tremendous effort to get to know each pupil and provide them with the very best care.

At Ark Blacklands we are extremely proud of the fact that Ofsted has graded us as outstanding in all areas. This means that by sending your child to our school, you will know that they are receiving the very best education in a vibrant and nurturing setting.

The vision for our pupils is clear. We believe that every child should have the opportunity to succeed at university or in a career of their choice. We provide them with the skills they need for success at secondary school and beyond.

Together, we achieve.

Our 'Habits of Success' guide the culture and ethos of our Academy so that we can realise our mission. They are a central part of how we work and are evident in every aspect of Academy life.
