Getting ready - It's time to get excited!
This page contains useful information about Lymm High School’s Transition process.
Open Evening
You can discover more about High School at our annual Autumn Open Evening where you will have the opportunity to tour the school, meet current students and speak to our highly qualified teaching staff about what we can offer your child.
Our next Open Evening will take place on Thursday 3rd October 2024, 5pm-8pm.
There will be presentations by the Headmaster, Mr Williams at 5.30pm or 6.15pm.
We look forward to welcoming you to our school.
Primary School Visits
In the last few weeks of the summer term in Year 6, a teacher from Lymm High School will visit feeder Primary Schools in the local area. This is a great chance for Year 6 students to get to know Lymm High staff better, and for us to gather information about the children joining us, to ensure a smooth transition process.
Transition Day
We invite all new students who will be joining Lymm High School to a Transition Day on Wednesday 2nd July 2025, filled with fun activities and the chance to experience typical lessons. Students will get the chance to meet staff and their new peers. Your child can also use this opportunity to familiarise themselves with the building, school grounds and new routines.
The 'Tynny' Experience
Ty’n-y-Felin, or ‘Tynny’ as it is affectionately known, is our very own residential centre set amid rocky creeks and heather-clad moorland on the isle of Anglesey.
The purpose-built activity holiday centre is situated in 35 acres of land, with its own access to the inland sea or Cymryron straits.
Each Hall group is invited to visit Tynny in the first term of Year 7 for a 3-day programme that includes a range of activities such as; orienteering, problem solving, charity work, crabbing at the creek and a visit to the island’s Silver Bay.
Extra-curricular Clubs & Activities
The Extra-curricular offering at Lymm is as unique as each of our students. We offer over 50 different clubs per week and a number of trips per year, across Technology, Art, Drama, Music and Sport faculties to name a few.

How do we get to school?
We are fortunate enough to benefit from excellent public transport links and operate several school bus routes from in and around the borough.

What do I do if my child has a medical condition?
The information regarding medical conditions is included in the admissions form. If your child will need medication in school, or they will need extra support and care, you can contact Mrs Shawcross (RShawcross@lymmhigh.org.uk). Mrs Shawcross will be able to let you know if we need any further paperwork completing and what medication would need to be held in school.

Free School Meals mean a student receives daily credit at lunchtime during term time in the school canteen. For further information including eligibility and application forms, click here.
How do I speak to the teachers at Lymm High and how do I find out who I need to speak to?
Communication is key to the transition aspect of your child’s life at Lymm High School but also throughout their time with us.
