Sports Teams

Training, Competitions, Practice

At the highest level many national junior champions in a variety of sports have attended William Parker. Several other students have achieved national recognition, representing their country at football, cricket, athletics, martial arts, swimming. We aim to identify students of exceptional sporting talent and help them to find opportunities and funding to develop their talent to the full.

The college has close links with many local sports clubs, especially cricket, football, basketball, rugby, hockey and athletics. Hastings and Bexhill Rugby Club and Hastings Athletics Club are based on site.

Because of its size and status and dedicated PE staff, teams representing William Parker almost always do well against other schools and colleges and individuals are often selected for the area or county teams.

At a general standard most students get the opportunity to represent their house at one of the competition sports or events and these also provide opportunities to develop leadership skills and self-confidence and for older students to get involved in organising and coaching.
