General Information

The Roebuck School officially opened its doors to a brand new sports and arts facility based on Parker Street - Preston in July 2004.

In a joint venture between Lancashire County Council, Sport England and The Roebuck School, a state of the art venue was built to house performances for sport and art for the school children and the local community.

To date, the venue is used regularly by the school for all Physical Education lessons, extra-curricular activities such as football, dance, athletics, table tennis etc. In addition to these activities, the building also provides a base for the 'Breakfast Club' and 'After School Club' which accommodate approximately 30 pupils every school day.

In the evenings, the local community use the facility to carry out a variety of sporting and artistic performances. The school is very keen for the local community to use the facility at evenings and weekends. If any organised groups are interested in using the venue then they can contact the school  during normal office hours on 01772 729337.
