Although the Sports Centre is heavily booked during the evenings (Monday to Friday) more opportunities will be made available during the school day, at weekends and in the holiday periods for activities appropriate to people of all ages. The outdoor facilities are also available for community use and include tennis and netball courts, hockey, cricket and football pitches. A brochure giving further details of the facilities and prices is available at the Sports Centre office. We are also looking at ways of financing extensions to the facilities, to include a fitness room, an extension to the present Sports Hall, a social area at the Sports Centre and floodlighting the hard tarmac areas to provide all year round usage. This would also be made into an all-weather surface.

For the fourth year the school has taken on the complete organisation of adult education in Hartismere. The result of this is that a far more interesting and wide-ranging programme is offered (nearly 30 classes this year), hopefully meeting the needs of our community to a much more appropriate degree. The aim is to build on this over the next few years, so that all ages, interests and abilities are catered for at Hartismere. Some of the classes available this year are, Environmental Issues, Dutch for Beginners, Painting for Pleasure, Sugar craft, Creative Embroidery, Yoga, French Conversation, Public Speaking, Tap Dance, Homeopathy for the Family, Fashion Pattern Drafting, Psychology, Wine Appreciation, Ladies Self-Defence, Driving Test Theory and Drama. In partnership with West Suffolk College we have been in a position for the first time to offer vocational classes in Computer (Clait Level I), plus G.C.S.E. German, Art, Biology and English Literature
