Year 7 Meet the Tutor evening – Tuesday 27th September 2022

Natalie McGillivary

Dear parents/carers,

I hope that you have all enjoyed a restful summer break. We are delighted to be welcoming our new Year 7 students and are supporting them whilst they settle into high school.

We understand that the transition to high school can feel somewhat daunting for both students and their parents/carers. We want a positive start by ensuring that both parents and students feel informed and prepared for the year to come.

With this in mind, we would like to invite parents and carers to our Meet the Tutor evening which will be held in school on Tuesday 27th September. We ask that students do not attend the evening as the information provided will be primarily aimed at parents and carers.

So that tutors have a chance to talk to as many parents as possible we are splitting the evening into two sessions.

  • 5.00pm – 5.45pm Surname A-J
  • 6.00pm – 6.45pm Surname K-Z

If you cannot attend your session time but would like to come to the other session, please email to let me know: nbeck@lymmhigh.org.uk

If possible, we would like to encourage any parents/carers to attend the evening on foot. However, we will have parking available. Please do exercise caution when parking to ensure that cars are not blocked in.

We look forward to seeing you.

Yours sincerely,

Miss N Beck
Head of Year 7

Travel to school

Natalie McGillivary

When travelling to Lymm High, please drive carefully around school and watch out especially for children on bikes. Please remember there will be no access to the school car park for parents for at least the first two weeks of term at the beginning and end of the day. This is due to the completion of drainage works at the front of school. School buses will not be affected, but cars will not be allowed on site to drop off or pick children up before and after school. If you usually drive children to and/or from school, please arrange to drop them off and collect them as far from the school as possible.

We encourage children to walk or cycle to school where possible.

Regarding bus transport, there are diversions in place affecting the 40, 40B and 42A due to a road closure on Bradshaw Lane in Grappenhall. This is due to finish on 14th October. Buses are diverting via Knutsford Road, Stockport Road and Stanton Road.

If you need any information on the bus services or to find out how students can get their Touch and Go pass please visit this website: https://www.warringtonsownbuses.co.uk/lymm-high-school

GCSE Results 2022

Natalie McGillivary

Following the tremendous success of Year 13 students last week, it was the turn of Year 11 to collect results this morning… and they have not disappointed! Despite having so much disruption to learning during the Covid pandemic, this cohort has performed exceptionally well and should be feeling incredibly proud of themselves today.

There are so many individual performances to celebrate (over 300 students, each with their own story to tell) and, in line with tradition, we would like to pay tribute to those gaining the very highest grades.

The highest achievers of all this year were Thea Benson and Eve Kayll, both of whom registered absolutely perfect performances, with grade 9s in all ten of the subjects they entered. This is a truly extraordinary performance, especially given how many exams are involved and how challenging GCSEs are these days.
