Sport
We take great pride in our sporting offer at Hartley and our various teams do really well in local competitions too. However, we try to ensure that there is an equal balance between the competitive side of sports and getting to experience a range of different events as well.
Every year, we take part in the following sports competitions and events:
Early Season 7-a-side boys' football tournament (Gravesham schools). We have won this three times in the past 7 years.
Early Season 7-a-side girls' football tournament (Gravesham schools).
Football matches happen throughout the year against other schools for girls and boys.
LAT swimming Gala - our 2022/23 team of four came 2nd overall out of 15 schools.
LAT Cricket Competition - a team of boys and girls is entered into this annual competition and also get the chance to meet ex-England international cricketers.
LAT Primary Sport's Day - a team of boys and girls go to Dartford Harriers Athletics Track to compete in this mixed event day. We have won all three years of this event so far!
HPA Sport's Day - every year, we run our sport's day in September. Our four houses compete in a mix of competitive running races and non-competitive events. This winners of the 2022/23 KS1 and KS2 events were the Tigers! Well done!
Sports Coaching - at HPA we employ a team of rugby coaches who run rugby sessions for a range of children both in and after school.
In the past, other competitions and activities that we have taken part in and that we hope happen again soon have been athletics, dodgeball, basketball, cross-country, hockey, surfing, golf and many more.
