Social Responsibility in the Community

Natalie McGillivary

On Monday, whilst the teachers are on Inset Day, we are asking our students to have a think about how they can provide a positive impact on the community.

The image shows all of our social responsibility hashtags. We want students to engage in an activity which demonstrates how they are embracing at least one of the hashtags. Email Form Tutors with the information and Hall points will be issued to all participants. Prizes will also be distributed to those students that have the biggest impact on the community.

John Berry

Today we have held a minute’s silence for a much-loved colleague and friend John Berry. John was our site supervisor and sadly passed away earlier this week after suffering a sudden heart attack. We will be holding a memorial service in school at some point during the summer term. Our thoughts and very best wishes are with the family he leaves behind.

Insightful History

Natalie McGillivary

A group of Year 12 and Year 11 History students have come together to create the school’s first online history magazine, Insight into History. The latest issue, released yesterday, has a theme of evil figures in History and features Pablo Escobar, Charles Manson and the Yorkshire Ripper.

In each issue ‘The interview’ reveals the opinions from some of Lymm High’s staff members. In the latest issue, Mrs Jennings focuses on the psychology behind evil and answers the question: What has a greater impact on making a person evil – is it nature or nurture?

Previous issues of the online magazine have focused on the quest for global equality, the Royal family and the 2020 election in America. To view the latest issue, click here.

 

 

Unwanted uniform

Natalie McGillivary

If you don’t have any use for your school uniform can you please donate it to the school so it can be shared with those who need it. We are asking for blazers, ties, PE kits or skirts. There will be a bag in each Year 11 form room for pupils to place their items in on Friday. Details will also be sent out at a later date about a drop-off point if you would prefer to donate your uniform at another time. Thank you!

Sixth Form Induction Programme

Natalie McGillivary

Dear Parent or Carer,

Please click here for an invitation for your son/daughter to join our sixth form induction programme. We recommend that students joining us in the sixth form in September attend all sessions, but please do not panic if you have booked a holiday or have prior commitments which cannot be changed. Where possible, we really do think students should attend.

If they have not already done so, please ensure that students have registered their attendance on the link provided on the invitation.

On Monday 14th June, students should meet in the Main Hall at 8:25 am where they will receive a more detailed timetable of the programme. We look forward to welcoming them.

Mrs Jennings
