Sports

There are lots of opportunities to lead a healthy active lifestyle at Jesmond Park Academy. We have a wide range of enrichment activities and sports for students to get involved in both indoor and outside. Our students can improve their performance in sport or activity or even learn a new one.

We have a large sports hall which caters for badminton, basketball, netball, volleyball, short tennis, 5-a-side football, cricket nets and many other fun indoor activities. We also have a large gymnasium where students take part sports such as gymnastics, trampolining, handball, circuit training and table tennis. Another indoor facility is the fitness suite which contains many weights machines and cardiovascular equipment such as treadmills, rowers, bikes and cross trainers. There is also a dedicated mirrored dance and fitness floor area.

Outside facilities include two full sized astro turfs, netball courts, 6 newly refurbished tennis courts, outdoor cricket nets and extensive grass fields. The fields are marked with 3 football pitches and a rugby pitch throughout most of the year. In the summer, a 400m athletics track and a 300m athletics track are marked out along with rounders and softball pitches. We also have outdoor basketball courts which are available for students to use throughout the year.
