Sport

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

Sports at Ark Dickens

At Ark Dickens, we believe that physical education goes beyond the classroom. In addition to our comprehensive PE curriculum, students have the chance to join a variety of afterschool sports clubs. These clubs are more than just an opportunity to play—they embody our core value of unity by fostering teamwork and collaboration.

We also encourage our students to participate in local competitions, helping them build sportsmanship and strive for excellence both on and off the field. To promote a healthy lifestyle, every child has the chance to take part in the ‘daily mile,’ reinforcing the importance of regular physical activity.

"Throughout my time at Ark Dickens I have seen the passion for health and fitness increase massively. The feedback from pupils regarding P.E is always extremely positive and their love for the subject shines through during conversation. We only have one body and it's vital we all look after it from young age. Together we want our children to leave our school with the knowledge and confidence on how to live a healthy lifestyle." - Mr B Morris, Physical Education Lead.
