Ontarget@LincolnCity

Ontarget@LincolnCity is the Playing for Success Study Support Centre based at Lincoln City Football Club. It is one of two Playing for Success Centres in Lincolnshire.

Playing for Success is a national initiative and has over 150 centres at sporting venues across the country. Each centre is very individual but they all aim to work with young people aged 9 –14 years old to help motivate them to make better progress at school. The centre helps young people develop greater self esteem and confidence in their ability to learn, whilst developing literacy, numeracy and ICT skills.

Ontarget@LincolnCity is located in the Co-op Community Stand at Sincil Bank. It has a large open plan learning space with a suite of 13 computers and a separate suite of Macs, an interactive whiteboard and digital cameras. There is also a chill out zone and other work areas. The centre opened in September 2006 and two local schools took part in the Playing for Success Pilot, these were Bishop King Primary School and Joseph Ruston Technology College. Full details of the pilot can be found on the Pilot evaluation. Since the pilot several other Lincoln Primary and Secondary schools have participated in the programme and found it to be very beneficial for their pupils.
