LSA Technology and Performing Arts College is a learning community for students aged 11-18 and has a long and proud history of excellence since opening in 1955 as Ansdell County Secondary School. Over this time we have received several achievements.

Ofsted
The school was inspected in March 2017 and judged ‘Good’. The full inspection report can be accessed from the link on our website. Whilst we were naturally delighted by that judgement, our intention is to build and develop, not to stand still.
Extended School
LSA Technology & Performing Arts College is a 'Fully Extended School'. When assessing the school against the Extended Services Core Offer the provision was recognised as 'a great example of what a secondary school should be offering to its pupils, families and the wider community... setting a high standard of extended services provisionwhich others could learn from and aspire towards'. This is in recognition of the changes put into place over the past two years to extend the school day, providing opportunities for all our students to reach their potential by encouraging a positive approach to learning and school.
