LMI for All
I’ve really enjoyed studying here. We learn lots of sports throughout the year including some that I hadn’t even heard of before I came to College.
It’s definitely been a good experience where I can learn lots of new skills and practice things that I haven’t had the opportunity to do so before.
Tom
Sport and Exercise Science student
With every session, I feel like I’m getting closer to what I want to do with my future.
I love sports and being here has allowed me to be myself. I’ve achieved things that I didn’t think were possible when I was at school.
Grace
Sport and Exercise Science student
The sport sessions are lots of fun. We all get to have a laugh and work together as friends in addition to building skills with engaging practical tasks.
We also get dedicated time for much needed theory based knowledge.
