School Gateway

Dear Parent or Carer,

As a parent, you will now be able to access the School Gateway app. The gateway app is one of our main methods of communication: it allows you to see your child’s timetable and their achievement and behaviour points. Any letters that are sent out are also sent out using the app. For more information on how to download the app and create an account please visit the Parents section of the school website.

Finally, if for any reason, you are considering not taking up the place you have been offered, we would be very grateful if you could let both the Local Authority Admissions Team and us know as soon as possible. We have a long list of families who were very disappointed not to gain a place for September and, on their behalf, we would really appreciate being able to let them know if a place does become available.

Yours faithfully

Miss Natassia Beck

Head of Year 7

In memoriam

Mark Jackson was the kindest and most humble of men, who will be very sadly missed by everyone who knew him. He worked as a peripatetic teacher at Lymm High School for over 20 years and in that time supported numerous students through their instrumental and GCSE exams. He shared his outstanding musical ability and expertise as a guitarist teaching classical, rock and jazz styles and had an exceptional ability to communicate with pupils of all ages and abilities. In his quiet and unassuming way, Mark guided his students to achieve outstanding results and Lymm High School will always be grateful for his invaluable support, contribution and dedication to our students. His stoic and selfless approach to life has left an imprint on our hearts.
