Dear PE Co-ordinator
We would like to invite your school to enter the Lancaster & Heysham Small Schools County Qualifying Football Tournament. This event is scheduled at LM College’s 3G astro pitch, on Monday 22nd September. The first games will kick off 12.30pm and will finish approx. 2.30pm, dependant on entries. Please arrive from 12.00 so we can brief everyone and start on time. Hopefully holding it early will mean better weather but please bring appropriate clothing/umbrellas for between games if there is any bad weather.
This tournament will act as a feeder for a Lancashire County Finals, meaning the top Heysham area school and top Lancaster area school compete at the Lancashire County Finals, scheduled for 22nd January 2026 at Fleetwood Town’s impressive training complex, Poolefoot Farm.

Competition details are as follows:

Strictly for schools who have up to 100 pupils enrolled in all KS2 this year. Schools can only qualify from the ‘small’ OR ‘large’ schools events- not both.
No spectators during College open times
Teams of 7, squads of upto 10 (Year 4/5/6 boys &/or girls, no minimum ratios).

SSN- Staff Walk and Pub Social!
2025-10-17 16:00 - 18:00 | LANCASHIRE
Dear Colleagues,
As part of our new Wellbeing Programme, we would like to invite all LHSSN Schools PE leads and support staff for a get together on Friday 17th October for a walk around the Fairfield Nature Reserve in Lancaster and then a drink in the Water Witch Pub afterwards!
It’s always great when we meet up at conferences and events and this would give staff the opportunity to share good practice, meet and check in with colleagues, as well as have a drink and a chat!
This is an extra event added this year for LHSSN schools as part of a wider programme of wellbeing events for LHSSN School staff.
We will meet at Lancaster Train Station at 4pm on Friday 17th October. The week before the last week of half term.
We’ll have a walk around the Fairfield Nature Reserve before finishing in the Water Witch pub for a drink afterwards.
The walk itself is short, very accessible and will take from 30 mins to 45 mins to complete. Please come prepared for the Lancaster weather with a sturdy pair of shoes, waterproofs and a spare drink.
There is some limited parking at the train station and on the bridge adjacent to the main entrance, or on the pay and display car park on Dallas Road. Alternatively, the train would also be a good option if you fancy a pint!
If anyone would rather skip the walk and just meet us at the pub instead, we will be there from 5:30 onwards!
Hope to see you there,
Any questions or queries, please get in touch with me via email

SSN CPD Support Staff Training & Active 60 minutes (LMC)
2025-11-27 09:00 - 11:30 | LANCASHIRE
We will have our ever popular support staff training at Lancaster & Morecambe College. We will cover the importance of activity for young people and some simple strategies to help other staff in school support their PE leads and whole-school approaches to getting pupils active. These will include ideas for lunchtimes, classrooms and clubs… and the play ground!
It is mainly aimed at support staff but PE teachers may attend if they wish.
As it’s for support staff we’ve found 9.15-11.30 fits best, between duties, so hopefully you can send 1-4 members of staff along. PLease book each member on.
It is an active course so please wear approriate footwear and clothing and bring a drink. (you may simply watch practical activities if required).
We’ve done this for a few years and those involved have always left really glad they came and feedback is always brilliant!

CSSCO ARCHERY
2025-12-01 22:30 - 23:00 | LANCASHIRE
THIS EVENT IS FOR CSSCO MEMBER SCHOOLS ONLY.
2025-26 Carnforth SSCO Archery Invite
Details of the competition are as follows:

Date: Compete anytime between October 25 and February 26
Venue: Your own school
Access to Judo Education for 2 hours, you can either – have one class in the event, they will get a bit of coaching first then do the event, or you have two classes in the event, but no coaching as there is just enough time to get two sets of results
It would be best to have a class competition (intra comp). This way every pupil gets a score, and it is easy to add the top 8 pupils together, who can then win the medals should they place in the top 3. Teachers can also use these results and give prizes to the winning school team. If you are doing this teacher might want to come up with their own fair way of creating equal teams. For the purpose of our event though, we just need the total class score.
Every pupil in the class will get a go and will have a score, the top 8 scorers will have their scores added together, and that will be your total.

Please download the full invitation from above.
