The competition entries were completed as part of our Mandarin lunchtime culture club which is led by our Confucious Classroom teacher Evelyn He. The club supports the children's development and understanding of Chinese language and culture through the traditional art of calligraphy.* ***'It is wonderful to see our children excelling in Chinese culture and art against a host of other schools across the country.' Marianne Beckett.*** ### Calligraphy Competition [![](https://files.schudio.com/hawes-side-academy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/calligraphy-competition/Calligraphy_1.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/hawes-side-academy/images/gallery/calligraphy-competition/Calligraphy_1.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/hawes-side-academy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/calligraphy-competition/Calligraphy_2.PNG)](https://files.schudio.com/hawes-side-academy/images/gallery/calligraphy-competition/Calligraphy_2.PNG) [Mandarin](https://www.hawes-side.co.uk/news/tag/mandarin) [![](https://files.schudio.com/hawes-side-academy/imagecache/100x100c/news/music_note_png.png)](https://www.hawes-side.co.uk/news/2026-06-19-4h-have-got-rhythm) Previous ### [4H have got Rhythm!](https://www.hawes-side.co.uk/news/2026-06-19-4h-have-got-rhythm) [![](https://files.schudio.com/hawes-side-academy/imagecache/100x100c/news/Brian_House_logo.png)](https://www.hawes-side.co.uk/news/2026-07-13-brian-house-teddy-bears-picnic) Next ### [Brian House Teddy Bears Picnic](https://www.hawes-side.co.uk/news/2026-07-13-brian-house-teddy-bears-picnic) ### Our Parents - [Latest News](https://www.hawes-side.co.uk/news) - [Newsletter](https://www.hawes-side.co.uk/our-parents/latest-communications) - [Term Dates](https://www.hawes-side.co.uk/termdates) - [Our Uniform](https://www.hawes-side.co.uk/our-parents/our-uniform) - [Our Meal Service](https://www.hawes-side.co.uk/our-parents/our-meal-service) - [Parent Pay](https://www.parentpay.com/) - [PTFA](https://www.hawes-side.co.uk/our-parents/ptfa) - [Parent View](https://parentview.ofsted.gov.uk/) - [Calendar](https://www.hawes-side.co.uk/calendar) - [School Admission Information](https://www.hawes-side.co.uk/our-parents/school-admission-information) - [Family Support](https://www.hawes-side.co.uk/our-parents/family-support) - [Our School Day](https://www.hawes-side.co.uk/our-parents/our-school-day) - [Out of School Clubs](https://www.hawes-side.co.uk/our-parents/Out-of-School-clubs) - [Attendance & Punctuality](https://www.hawes-side.co.uk/our-parents/attendance-punctuality) - [Family Learning](https://www.hawes-side.co.uk/our-parents/family-learning) - [Starting School - Foundation Children - September ](https://www.hawes-side.co.uk/our-parents/starting-school-foundation) - [Leading Parent Partnership](https://www.hawes-side.co.uk/our-parents/leading-parent-partnership-award) ##### Location Johnsville Avenue Blackpool FY4 3LN ##### Contact Us 01253 402541 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/Hawes-Side-Academy-106552978546097) - [X](https://twitter.com/HSlearners) © Copyright 2018–2026 Hawes Side Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.hawes-side.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/) ![](https://files.schudio.com/hawes-side-academy/images/announcements/Switch_On_png.png)
