Arnold Clark Apprentice Opportunities

Arnold Clark is currently recruiting for enthusiastic individuals to join its Aftersales department as an Apprentice Aftersales Customer Advisor. There are two positions available at Warrington Motorstore (Westbrook) and Warrington Renault at Gemini Retail Park.

The apprenticeships incorporate a Digital Application Support SCQF Level 6 qualification, so are ideal for students interested in progressing into data processing, web or multimedia applications or helpdesk application support.

The apprentice hourly rate is £7.25 per hour, increasing with experience. The company also offers 33 days’ holiday, private healthcare, paid driving lessons and 2x funded attempts at the driving test. 

It will consider students who are on track to achieve GCSE grade 4+ in Maths and English. An online Maths and English assessment will be undertaken with applicants in lieu of them receiving their GCSE results.

Honours Boards

Natalie McGillivary

Lymm High School has Honours Boards that display the names of all students who have, over the years, represented their county or country at sport. Recognition is also given to those students who are placed (top 3) in national competitions. We update the Boards every two years; therefore, any student from Years 8–13 who has achieved county honours in the period of time from September 2022 to the present day should be recognised on these boards.

If your son or daughter meets the criteria, please email the following details to Mr Kerwin, Head of PE (jkerwin@lymmhigh.org.uk), by Friday 9th June.

  • Student name
  • Current Year group
  • Sport
  • County or Region e.g. Cheshire or North of England
  • Age Group represented (e.g. U15’s)
  • Year(s) (e.g. 2018–20)

Science trilogy classes

Natalie McGillivary

With our Year 11 students on study leave, we have greater availability of science staff and can split up the Year 10 science trilogy classes into the smaller groups they will be in for Year 11. Having more classes (10 instead of 8) inevitably means that classes and teachers may change after the half-term break. This does not necessarily mean that students are moving ‘up’ or ‘down’ sets, we have reshuffled the classes based on teacher input and student potential as well as looking at performance in the recent mock exams. Students will be informed of their new classes by their current teachers.
