Globe Ark Academy – Facilities
The Ark Globe Academy is a school based in the heart of Elephant and Castle. It is home to hundreds of students ranging from primary all the way through to sixth form. As the school is so vast it is able to offer a wide range of facilities which we, Schools Plus, are able to utilise. This therefore gives us the opportunity to provide a great, flexible and exciting customer experience to fit whatever function, big or small.
What do we have to offer?
The Pentagon Hall – One of our most interesting buildings at the school. Built to house all things creative, it boasts a wide space holding a maximum capacity of 300 people. Its circular build, tiered seating area and stage feature makes it perfect for hosting performances. The lovely acoustics and adjustable lighting (on demand) make this venue a perfect spot for a concert, wedding receptions, birthday parties, special occasions, formal events and religious services. If that wasn’t enough the pentagon hall offers two further spaces (at an additional cost) – the dance and drama studios. Both studios are perfect for small individual functions or as additional space to host your main event.
The Commons – One of our most popular venues within the school would be the Commons. Situated on both first and second floors The Commons hold a great deal of space to be used. One of the main features of this room is the ability split this into two separate spaces by using our sliding doors. Meaning you can either hire out this space as a whole or as two completely separate rooms, either way you will still have a great deal of space as these rooms are one of the biggest available within the school. Our Commons come complete with chairs and dining tables’ meaning it is great to use as both a space to hire for functions or the perfect place to hire out for a lunch break when hosting for a great deal of people.
The Sports Hall – A perfect fit for all things sporty. At four badminton courts long our sports hall is able to host all major events. Our services allow for us to cater to your every sporting need and with equipment such as score boards, netball posts, badminton nets, goal posts and basketball hoops our sports hall will be more than able to fulfil your every desire. It’s fully lit and complete with a large amount of windows if it gets too hot. But not only is this venue for hire purely for sporting events. With its ability to hold a very large capacity we are more than happy to hire this space for any function that requires that amount of space (i.e. examinations, parties, competitions or tournaments)
Classrooms – Small and secluded, these private spaces are for hire for those who want a smaller, quieter area to hold their event. Popular with churches and Saturday schools our classrooms are a great place to use if you want a private, peaceful event. Our classrooms are widespread over two floors and come complete with tables and chairs which are available for your use. You can hire just one or multiple classrooms at a time. Each classroom can hold up to 40 people at a time.
AstroTurf –At the very back of the school we have a brand new AstroTurf available. Here we can accommodate a range of sports such as football, rugby and basketball. Perfect for 5 or 11 a side, a great place for both training and competitive matches. We have a range of changing facilities located by the sports hall which are all easily accessible and open for anyone to use, complete with benches, showers and toilets our facilities hold everything you need.
To make your experience here the best we can we also make sure we can accommodate to your every individual need. Some of our services include
