Year 12 and 13 Information and Guidance (IAG) events will be taking place on Wednesday 15th September: Year 12 at 6pm and Year 13 at 7pm.
During the IAG, the Sixth Form team will be providing important information on how you can support your child and will also highlight some of the opportunities available for all of our students.

Due to the imminent threat of lightning we have cancelled all outdoor football and rugby training after school.
Netball will still take place indoors.
Football training for Year 7s, 8s and 9s will now take place tomorrow after school.
We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
As you are aware the second of the in-school Covid tests have taken place this week. The students have been fantastic, which has helped the testing process to run extremely well and quickly. As a reminder, we contact parent/carers of any student testing positive immediately, you will not receive notification if the result is negative.
In line with the government’s approach to reopening schools, the responsibility for testing once again moves to the students and you as parents for completing the tests at home. The government guidance is for tests to be completed twice per week with 3–5 days between tests. We would like students to test on Sunday evening and Wednesday evening each week if possible, until further notice.
On Thursday and Friday this week all students will receive home testing packs during form time. Whilst testing is not compulsory we would appreciate it if as many students as possible complete the tests. If your child is not taking the test due to being positive in the last 90 days or for other reasons, then simply do not complete the test, we do not need to be specifically contacted.
The students have become proficient in swabbing themselves, with the aid of a mirror, but they may not have completed the actual testing. There are instructions in the pack, but this video link demonstrates the process in full. Once you have completed the test and waited for 30 minutes for the result to confirm, you should log the result on the government website: www.gov.uk/report-covid19-result
The data are not shared with school, so we have been asked by the government to also hold our own testing data, to allow us to order further batches of testing kits. Each time you complete a test we would be grateful if you could complete this very quick form: Reporting results
If your child tests positive then, in line with the guidance on home testing, you should book for them to take a PCR test asap to confirm the result. Please contact us via telephone and email to covidtrack@lymmhigh.org.uk as soon as the home test comes back positive and again once you have received the result from the PCR test.
For any other queries related to testing, or if you have issues reporting a result using the Microsoft form, please email covidtrack@lymmhigh.org.uk (Please note that this is a different email address from the one used for contact in relation to the recent in-school testing.)

Students can collect their results from the Upper Hexagon (entering school via the Languages yard only) from 8:30am. Only students will be allowed on site, so if you are accompanying your son/daughter to school, we kindly request you stay in your vehicles, parking on either the Sixth Form car park or the Leisure Centre car park.
We will have a ‘Clearing centre’ in S101 where staff will be on hand to support any UCAS queries. Our careers advisor will also be based here. If students are not going to collect their results in person, they must email examsresults@lymmhigh.org.uk to arrange for them to be sent via email.
Before results day, we highly recommend you read the relevant guidance from UCAS. Students can already search vacancies in Clearing and we have advised all students to do so, so that they have a back-up plan should results not go as expected. Clearing vacancies can be found here along with some helpful guidance about how this process works.
Further information can be found here.
