Promoting physical activity for a healthy and active lifestyle
We believe that physical education, experienced in a safe and supportive environment, makes a vital contribution to a pupil’s development and health.
Physical education is really important at Hastings School; we have a specialist sports team that delivers a varied programme that starts from just two years old.
PE Curriculum
Physical education is vital for mental and physical health
All students up to Year 11 do a minimum of two hours physical activity each week. The physical education curriculum provides the opportunity for pupils to increase their self-confidence through an ability to manage themselves successfully in areas such as: team games, gymnastics, dance, athletics, outdoor adventurous activities and swimming. A balance of individual, team, co-operative and competitive activities cater for individual pupil’s needs and abilities.
For those who love sport there are many extra clubs, and competitive teams, which allow students to develop their skills to a much higher level. We also have agreements with local sports clubs.
Competitive Sport
We also offer various opportunities for students to compete against other schools and local clubs
Dance Programme
Dance is taught across all our buildings in partnership with Dance Escool company
Dance Escool is a dance school with more than 10 years of experience, 1500 students, more than 40 teachers based in Barcelona and Madrid.
Dance Escool joined Hastings in September to offer a weekly dance club as part of our ECA sports programme. We hosted a ‘Festival of Dance’ for Madrid international schools last year and we plan to do the same again this year.
