SPORTS ACADEMY

Through the creation of the Lindisfarne Sports Academy (LSA), the college is aiming to provide sport related support for every student, build their confidence and give them enduring life skills.
​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​We all know that knowledge can be powerful, but knowledge is only learned with support. This is why the LSA is aiming to support all students no matter what their goals, to improve in sport and acquire life skills. 


To help achieve this the LSA has three tiers;
