Welcome to Lyng Hall

Thank you for your interest in Lyng Hall Specialist Sports College. We are a relatively small school, which it makes it possible for all staff to know the pupils. This is important in enabling us to create a caring and supportive environment for our pupils.

Everyone is committed to ensuring that the pupils achieve the highest possible standards. We adapt and personalise the delivery of the curriculum and staff are actively encouraged to develop creative and motivational techniques for teaching the pupils. Our recent successful improvements have been featured in the local press, radio and on the television.

Lyng Hall is an existing school that is flourishing. Our designation as a specialist Sports College signalled the start of a period of rapid growth and exciting developments, including a £2.5 million school and community sports facility.

The school has many strengths and an Ofsted inspection in February 2006 endorsed the strategies that have been put in place. I was particularly pleased that the inspection team identified that:

• Pupils enjoy school.
• Their well being, especially that of the most vulnerable, is well catered for.
• Pupils’ personal development is good and they value the provision that is made for them.
• At Key Stage 3, results have improved faster than the national rate, especially in English.
• Pupils have a positive attitude to school.
• Pupils are confident that any unacceptable behaviour is dealt with quickly and effectively.
• The Headteacher and Senior Leadership Team provide good leadership and have a clear vision for improvement.

Year on year results are improving and pupils are given a wider range of opportunities and experiences to enrich the quality of their lives, help them to achieve their potential and develop within them attitudes necessary to become a compassionate and successful member of the adult world.

I hope this website gives you a flavour of what we do at Lyng Hall and the things we care about.

Should you require further information or would like to arrange a tour of the school, please contact Oliver Wood at Hays on 024 76 222322.

I look forward to meeting you.

Paul Green, Headteacher.
