Dear Parents/Carers
Just a couple of reminders from the Heads of Year.
Please can you support us and make sure that students do not come to school wearing the following:
We appreciate that some students may still be wearing acrylic nails following the summer break so we kindly ask that these are removed over the weekend.
We will be back to full school uniform from Monday.
Kind regards,
Heads of Year
Dear parents/carers,
We apologise that some students were having difficulty logging into Satchel One due to PIN codes expiring.
These have now been reset and emails should have been received detailing new student PINS which will replace those received on Wednesday.
The easiest way for students to access homework is to download the ‘Satchel’ app and enter this student PIN when prompted.
If students have already logged into their accounts, please disregard this message.
Kind regards,
Miss S Mulholland
Assistant Headteacher
Dear parents and carers,
Our new Year 7 students have had a great first week. I have been very impressed with their behaviour, uniform and attitude to learning so far. I have also had great feedback from staff and form tutors, and they have made me very proud as their Head of Year. I hope they keep up the hard work!
Please remember to sign up to Satchel One. You can click here for a reminder of how to get access. In addition, please note that Year 7 shouldn’t be getting any homework for the first 2 weeks of term.
Have a lovely weekend.
Miss Rowley
Head of Year 7
Year 7 girls football training starts this Monday (11th September) after school. Finish at 4.15pm.
Students need to get changed in the PE changing rooms and meet Mrs Slater and Miss Steele on the 3G football pitch.
We have been monitoring things very closely today and have now made the decision to allow students to wear PE kit to school tomorrow and Friday if they so choose. Whilst it has been hot, but not unbearable today, the buildings are starting to get quite warm now and the weather forecast for Friday now appears to be even hotter weather than originally predicted. Therefore, on balance, this seems to be a sensible approach.
Please note that students must wear either their full and proper Lymm High School PE kit or normal uniform (i.e. no ‘mix and match’). Please also note that we will return to full uniform from Monday.
Students in the Sixth Form (who don’t have PE kit) can wear their own clothes provided these are sensible and appropriate for a school environment; for example, shorts of a sensible length and a t-shirt, or a summer dress. Football shirts, cropped / bra tops would not be appropriate. Likewise, sensible footwear needs to be worn (no flip flops or sliders).
As always with anything relating to uniform, we appreciate there will be different views. However, we are grateful for people’s understanding that we have to make a decision one way or another and for your support in whatever we do decide.
Please remember to top up your child’s cashless catering account via Parent Pay to ensure your child is able to purchase food at break and during lunchtimes. You can click here to view the lunch menu, which changes each day. The price list can be viewed here.
At Lymm High School, we use the ‘Satchel One’ platform for the setting of Homework. Students can also use the app to keep track of their timetable and essential notices when working at home. As students do not carry diaries or planners to record tasks and deadlines, it is essential that all students are able to access the Satchel One platform, via mobile app, tablet or online web browser.
Not only do students have access to the platform so they can better manage their tasks and deadlines independently, parents also have access to each account in order to provide further support. Teachers will upload task instructions for each task, and may also include resources and supporting materials that can be downloaded.
Please note that we do not subscribe to the behaviour, detention or attendance modules, so this will not be accessible on either parent or student accounts.
How can I get access?
Year 7 students have been issued with a paper letter (example below), which details their student PIN, and the parent code that can be used to create up to 5 accounts. All set up details are included on this letter to support first log-in and set-up.
No PE kit is required for lessons on Wednesday or Thursday this week. PE lessons will begin Period 1 on Friday. Students will be able to check Satchel One for what kit to bring. Any questions, please contact Mr Kerwin on jkerwin@lymmhigh.org.uk.
The extra-curricular timetable will start from Monday 11th September. The following sessions are additional due to fixtures beginning immediately:
