Sport

Sport plays a central part in life at our Academy, helping our pupils to stay fit and healthy.

Sport at Ark Blacklands helps to develop children's self esteem, promote healthy lifestyles and improve inclusion.

Morning and lunchtime breaks provide daily opportunities for physical activity for years 1 to 6, when children can get involved both on the playground and the new Multi Use Games Area. Staff and Playground Leaders (trained pupils from Year 5 and 6) are on duty to co-ordinate a range of active playground games. 

We also have a range of lunchtime sports clubs and after school activities run by qualified coaches, including football, dodgeball, dance, golf and multi-skills.

Pupils in Year 5 attend a weekly swimming lesson at Summerfields swimming pool during the summer term.

Thanks to the support of the Hastings and Rother Sports Partnership, pupils from Year 3 to Year 6 have the opportunity to participate in variety of School Games events held across the town, which introduce a more competitive element into sporting activities.
