The Lindsey School and Community Arts College are celebrating after receiving two awards from the Lincolnshire FA.

The first award was the news that the school had been awarded the FA Charter Standard Development School of the Year for Lincolnshire. It is the second year running that the school had won the title, and acknowledges the excellence that the school provides for its footballers, both boys and girls.

Over the last year the school has provided high quality teaching in lessons for all years, which has incorporated students completing their FA Junior Football Organiser Award. Both boys and girls have also had the chance to try the new 5-a-side game Futsal, which the school were national runners up in.

As well as playing football, boys and girls have had the chance to watch the England team play, as the school have organised trips to Pride Park in Derby, the KC Stadium in Hull and the Walkers Stadium in Leicester.

As well as the charter standard award, PE teacher Rob Allenby has been awarded the FA Coach of the Year for Lincolnshire 2007. It is the second year running that Rob has won the award, and was selected over all coaches in Lincolnshire.

The school were presented with both awards before Grimsby Towns match with Chester City at Blundell Park.
