Lymm High is a nut-free school

Natalie McGillivary
Please can we remind parents and carers that Lymm High is a completely nut-free school.
All our catering outlets are nut-free, and we ask for your help in ensuring that all packed lunches and snack items brought to school are also completely nut-free. This includes food taken on school trips and any items labelled with ‘may contain traces of nuts’.

Free School Meals – changes to eligibility

Natalie McGillivary
As of September 2026, the criteria for Free School Meals in schools has changed.
Please see attached flyers linked below.
If you think your child may now qualify, please complete the FSM application form as soon as possible and return to the email address at the bottom of it. There is no income threshold any longer for FSM as long as you are in receipt of qualifying benefits.
On a different note, if your child was eligible for FSM last year and is now (after re-checks) either not eligible for FSM or has not been checked because of missing details, please re-apply for FSM using the same form.
Any queries, please contact Mrs A Mogey in Student Services (amogey@lymmhigh.org.uk).
