There is a plethora of sporting opportunities here at Lincoln Minster School, providing each pupil with the opportunity to explore and develop their talents in an activity they’re passionate about. 

A wide range of activities are available to boys and girls both for talented individuals who have particular interests, and also for those whose motivation is more recreational and social. We firmly believe that sport is for everyone and aim to ensure that children of all abilities and aptitudes have a positive experience and learn to appreciate the enjoyment and benefits to be gained from physical activity.

Sport plays a key role in developing life skills

Teamwork, communication, testing ourselves to the limit, maintaining concentration and stamina are all important. It is also essential in keeping young bodies fit and healthy as they grow. The skills developed at an early age can provide each individual with the ability to stay fit and healthy throughout life.

To help support learning, we have a wide range of Sports Ambassadors who share their expertise and inspiring stories with the pupils. Our Sports Ambassadors are built of LMS alumni and other professional sportspeople who have found success after leaving school. Find out more via the link below.
