A Level and BTEC Certificate Collection

Lisa Hughes

Dear Parents/Carers and Year 13 Leavers (past students),

Following the cancellation of the certificate collection this week due to the severe icy conditions and school closure, we have rescheduled it for next Tuesday 14th January 2025 in the Lower Hex between 3 and 4pm. We are confident that by next Tuesday, the ice will have thawed and the site will be safe for everyone.

This will be a great opportunity for students to catch up with staff and share their news, however, we understand that unfortunately a lot more students will already have returned to university by then, therefore if your child would like to nominate and authorise someone else to collect them at this time on their behalf, the student should email myself to confirm this (if they haven’t done so already)

Since your child’s old Lymm High school email address has now been disabled, I would be very grateful for your help in sharing this information with them yourself and with anyone else you know to whom this information is relevant.

It’s important to note:

These certificates are official evidence of your child’s qualifications and should be kept safe, as they may need to produce them for jobs or further studies in the future.

  • Only the student can collect their certificates, as they are required to sign for them.
  • If your child is unable to collect them, they can nominate someone else to do so on their behalf. To arrange this, the student must email Mrs Hughes lhughes@lymmhigh.org.uk in advance, giving permission and naming the person who will collect the certificates.
  • If certificates are not collected on this day, they can be collected from Main School Reception / Exams Office after 14th January by prior arrangement. To arrange this, please email exams@lymmhigh.org.uk.
  • Please be aware that the school only keeps certificates for 12 months. If they are not collected within this time, they will be returned to the exam boards. Replacements must be requested directly from the exam boards, and this can be a costly process.

Thank you for your support, and we look forward to seeing your child on Tuesday 14th January 2025.

Get Ready for Children in Need – Friday 15th November!

Lisa Hughes

Dear Parents / Carer,

We’re thrilled to announce that Children in Need is just around the corner, taking place on Friday 15th November! This event is always a highlight of our school year, and our Sixth Form students are preparing to go all-out once again with their incredible costumes to raise funds for this worthy cause. You can expect a fantastic display of creativity, colour, and fun as our Sixth Formers dress up as all sorts of characters and parade through school at break time to collect donations.

In addition to the costume parade, we have a special treat for students this year: the chance to throw wet sponges at some brave volunteer teachers during lunchtime! Students can pay a small donation for each throw, making this a fun and memorable way to raise even more for Children in Need.

If you’d like to support this wonderful cause, we’re making it as easy as possible to donate through the school. Donations can be made on the day in our collection buckets, through ParentPay, or even via card, with a card reader available in school.

And don’t forget to keep an eye out for all the wonderfully dressed-up characters making their way to school that day! Thank you in advance for helping us make a difference through Children in Need.

Kind regards

The Charities Team and The Sixth Form Team
