2009 is a special year for Lingey House as it marks the school's 50th birthday and we are all sure it will be another very memorable year.

Reminder that pupils start back to school on Monday 5th January.

Sessions on a Friday afternoon will be with a qualified tennis coach for the next 6 weeks.

Please make sure that you have your kit in school with you on these days.
