English Theatre Trip Reminders

Helena Headon
Parents of Year 7
Theatre Trip Reminders:
  • All students will need a packed lunch – this will be eaten at breaktime.
  • Students must wear their full school uniform and school shoes.
  • School bags are not required as we are leaving school straight after breaktime.
  • Students may bring money to purchase snacks during the interval.
We are leaving school on coaches at approximately 11.45am. The performance finishes at 3.30pm, we therefore expect to return for approximately 4.30. Any delays will be communicated by the school.
Please reiterate to children that they represent Lymm High School whilst outside of school and on a school trip. We expect impeccable behaviour from all of our students throughout the trip.
Thank you,
Miss Penketh

House with the Chicken Legs Theatre Trip

Please be aware that the deadline for payments is now Friday 11th March due to the technical difficulties experienced after Half Term. Home Theatre have reserved our seats, but payment is required next week. This does not apply to PP students, those places have been reserved and will be funded by the school we do, however, require a permission slip. Could you please ensure your payment has been received by Parent Pay and do not hesitate to contact the school if you have any issues with the system.
The English Faculty are very excited that so many Year 7 students are joining us on their first trip with Lymm High.
Miss Penketh.

Parent Survey – March 2022

Helena Headon

Dear Parent/Carer

Please could we ask that you spend 5 minutes completing this Parent Survey. This is the first survey of this kind since the COVID pandemic and therefore we are particularly keen to receive as many responses as we can.

Thank you in anticipation for your valuable feedback. I will provide a response to the key messages we receive in due course.

Kind regards

Gwyn Williams

Number 42 Bus

Helena Headon

Warrington’s Own Buses have asked us to advise you of the forthcoming closure of Massey Brook Lane, Lymm from next Monday 6th December until the end of term due to roadworks and will affect your service 42 school bus that normally operates from the Wrights Green/Appleton Thorn area then Knutsford Road (A50) and along Cliff Lane, Weaste Lane and Massey Brook Lane. The bus will be unable to operate along the latter three roads and will instead remain on Knutsford Road through to its junction with Stockport Road (A56), it will then divert along Stockport Road and Camsley Lane (A56) towards the School.

It is likely that most pupils affected by this road closure will travel from the Stoneleigh Gardens, Cuerdon Drive and Marie Drive end of Weaste Lane or from Massey Brook Lane, Massey Avenue or Beech Grove which are on the Lymm side of where the motorway viaduct crosses Massey Brook Lane, as these areas are where most housing is located.

Pupils from Stoneleigh Gardens, Cuerdon Drive, Marie Drive and the west end of Weaste Lane will need to board the bus on Knutsford Road near to the junction with Cliff Lane and Bellhouse Lane, the bus will stop alongside the white cottages on Knutsford Road, opposite a marked bus stop visible on the other side of the road.

Pupils from Massey Brook Lane, Massey Avenue and Beech Grove will need to board the bus from the bus stop on Camsley Lane/Booth’s Hill Road opposite the junction with Massey Brook Lane, this bus stop is already used by the other Lymm High School buses. I have been informed by Highways that pedestrian access will be maintained through the roadworks area on Massey Brook Lane.

These arrangements will also apply for alighting in the afternoon, service 42 operates a loop around Grappenhall and Appleton Thorn in the afternoon, normally this is after operating along Massey Brook Lane and Weaste Lane but because of the diversion the loop will be done before reaching the Knutsford Road/Cliff Lane drop off point.

Please click here for a copy of the roadworks map so you can see where the road closure will be (please note the side roads that are shown branching off Weaste Lane are not suitable for buses and so cannot be used to minimise the required diversion).

Consultation on draft Admissions Policy for 2023/24

Helena Headon

Lymm High School is now consulting on the draft admissions policy for 2023/24. There is one proposed change to the admissions policy from that which was adopted when the school became an Academy in 2012 and is currently in force. This is a proposed amendment to the third category of the oversubscription criteria, which relates to medical conditions and has been updated to aid clarity. If you would like to send a response or make a comment in relation to the proposed arrangements, you can do so by emailing or writing as follows:

Email: admissions@lymmhigh.org.uk

Write to: Admissions Consultation,

Clerk to the Governors,

Lymm High School, Oughtrington Lane,

Lymm, Cheshire, WA13 0BR.

The consultation period will run from Friday 15th October 2021 – 3rd December 2021
