Following the publication of official GCSE data by the Department for Education last week, Lymm High School is once again comfortably in the top ten mixed comprehensive schools in the North
West. Please click here to read Mr Williams’ full letter.

To tie in with our social responsibility theme of Kindness, we are once again supporting those less fortunate than ourselves in the run up to Christmas.

Key Stage 3 students (Years 7-9) are creating shoeboxes for Manchester’s Street Angels.

We are asking Forms in Years 10-13 to either club together to buy toys for Warrington Youth Zone’s Christmas Toy Appeal or to donate new toys and games to Mission Christmas.

Donations of money and toys can be taken into Forms up to the deadline of Friday 29th November.

We are excited to announce an inspiring new initiative at Lymm High School: The Lymm Learner. This programme is designed to recognise and cultivate qualities that we believe are essential for students to thrive academically and personally. As part of this, our positive points system will be shifting to better reflect the qualities of a ‘Lymm Learner.’

A ‘Lymm Learner’ is a student who:

• Takes responsibility for their own learning.
• Is motivated by their progress and strives to improve.
• Asks thoughtful questions and confidently challenges assumptions.
• Thinks critically to enhance their understanding.
• Embraces setbacks as learning opportunities and shows resilience.

Each week, students will earn Lymm Learner Hall points for demonstrating these attributes in their classes. The top three students in each year group who accumulate the most Lymm Learner Hall points will receive a special certificate, which will be sent home in recognition of their dedication and success.

Dear Parents / Carer,

We’re thrilled to announce that Children in Need is just around the corner, taking place on Friday 15th November! This event is always a highlight of our school year, and our Sixth Form students are preparing to go all-out once again with their incredible costumes to raise funds for this worthy cause. You can expect a fantastic display of creativity, colour, and fun as our Sixth Formers dress up as all sorts of characters and parade through school at break time to collect donations.

In addition to the costume parade, we have a special treat for students this year: the chance to throw wet sponges at some brave volunteer teachers during lunchtime! Students can pay a small donation for each throw, making this a fun and memorable way to raise even more for Children in Need.

If you’d like to support this wonderful cause, we’re making it as easy as possible to donate through the school. Donations can be made on the day in our collection buckets, through ParentPay, or even via card, with a card reader available in school.

And don’t forget to keep an eye out for all the wonderfully dressed-up characters making their way to school that day! Thank you in advance for helping us make a difference through Children in Need.

Kind regards

The Charities Team and The Sixth Form Team
