Sporting Endeavour

• Involvement in winter and summer sports is compulsory at Lindisfarne. The College prides itself on its wide sports involvement by the boys and staff which has led to some outstanding successes at local, regional and national levels over the years.

  Unlike many schools which depend on parental or 'Club" coaches, Lindisfarne staff are committed to work with the boys to develop their sporting skills. This makes for good relationships both inside and outside the classroom and also allows the staff chances to see strengths in their pupils which may not be as quickly visible in the classroom situation.

  Leadership, teamsmanship, fair play, goal setting and fitness are but some of the spin-offs of Lindisfarne's compulsory team sport involvement.

  The College offers a wide variety of sporting activities which it is well represented in by some very talented students.
