Students can collect their results from the Sports Hall from 8:30am, entering through the Leisure Centre main entrance. We will allow students only on site, so if you are accompanying your son/daughter to school, we kindly request you stay in your vehicles. Parking will be available on both the Sixth Form car park and the Leisure Centre car park.

Further information can be found here.

For students wanting to join us from other schools, please collect your GCSE results from your current school and then bring these to enrol with us. Enrolment will happen in the library at the front of school, there will be signs to direct you. We will only be processing enrolment for external students from 11-12pm. If you are away on results day, please email hjennings@lymmhigh.org.uk to confirm your subject choices. You will also be required to send through receipt of your results.

Dear Parent/Carers

It’s that time of year again for me to send a timely reminder about uniform expectations and high standards of uniform and appearance for September 2021. As always, I ask that before purchasing any new items of uniform, please check the guidance on the school website, or seek advice from the school shop. Following the guidance avoids any difficult conversations in September resulting from the purchase of uniform that is not acceptable or appropriate. As a guide, I suggest if you are not sure then do not buy it, and certainly try to avoid being pressured by your child into buying items of uniform that are not accepted; this is particularly important when choosing an appropriate pair of school shoes.

The main uniform discussion points each year are:

• School Shoes – All students must wear a conventional shoe which is polishable. Trainer-style shoes or footwear with logos are not appropriate school uniform and not permitted.
• School Skirts – Inevitably students grow so please check the length of girls’ skirts before returning. The school skirt should sit just above the knee.

The intention of the uniform policy is to promote pride and responsibility in our students in preparation for adult life and to ensure equal opportunity without extremes of fashion. We take great pride in our uniform and appearance and our high standards and expectations require all pupils to wear their full uniform correctly at all times. Having a clear policy and sticking to it also drastically reduces the amount of time wasted with constant debates about what the policy should be or what exceptions students want us to make. Having the support of parents, as always, goes a long way to reducing the number of conversations we have to have about uniform and appearance and supports the smooth running of the school. I therefore ask for your support in ensuring all students are in the correct school uniform from September. This includes:

• Shoes – no trainers/trainer-style footwear/no logos
• Coats should be dark in colour
• No hoodies
• No jewellery
• No piercings
• Discreet natural make-up: no false nails, no false eyelashes, clear nail varnish only, eyebrows should be natural
• Hair should be neat and conventional with no extreme styles. No haircuts shorter than a grade 2. Hair colour should be natural.

This year we have trialled a uniform recycling scheme and have had many items of good quality uniform handed in for re-use. If you would like to enquire about these and find out what is available, please email Miss Beck (nbeck@lymmhigh.org.uk). All items are available free of charge.

Kind regards
Mr Thompson

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!

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 14^th 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
