Lyndon has a School Sports Co-ordinator (SSCO) who is one of our PE teachers, and who helps maintain a high standard of after-school sports clubs, and sport-liaison with other schools. As part of this, she selects and trains Lyndon students as Young Sports Leaders, who go with her to our Humanities College Primary Partner Schools to run sport workshops for Primary students.
