We are excited to announce an inspiring new initiative at Lymm High School: The Lymm Learner. This programme is designed to recognise and cultivate qualities that we believe are essential for students to thrive academically and personally. As part of this, our positive points system will be shifting to better reflect the qualities of a ‘Lymm Learner.’

A ‘Lymm Learner’ is a student who:

• Takes responsibility for their own learning.
• Is motivated by their progress and strives to improve.
• Asks thoughtful questions and confidently challenges assumptions.
• Thinks critically to enhance their understanding.
• Embraces setbacks as learning opportunities and shows resilience.

Each week, students will earn Lymm Learner Hall points for demonstrating these attributes in their classes. The top three students in each year group who accumulate the most Lymm Learner Hall points will receive a special certificate, which will be sent home in recognition of their dedication and success.

As mentioned in previous correspondence regarding attendance, Warrington Borough Council is now considering penalty notices in line with the new DfE guidance. Please click here to find out more information. As always, if you are concerned about your child’s attendance, do get in touch with your child’s Head of Year / Pastoral Manager.
