The bus company have told us that they will not be able to send buses earlier to collect students for our early finish on the last day of term, Friday 16th December.
If your child will not be able to make their way home any other way on Friday 16th December, please let us know as soon as possible by emailing amogey@lymmhigh.org.uk and we will organise transport home for them separately, probably via a school minibus.

The Year 7 Parents’ Evening will be taking place on Thursday 8th December. Our Parents’ Evening will be online, using the School Cloud platform. You will need to register and book your appointments by logging into SchoolCloud – Lymm High School. I have also attached a guide here for your support.
You will be able to book a 4–minute appointment with teaching staff between the times of 4:30pm and 7:30pm. The booking system will open at 7am on Wednesday 30th November 2022. On the evening you will access your video appointments by logging into School Cloud as above. At the time of your meetings, you will be prompted to ‘join the meeting’. All appointments will last a maximum of 4 minutes, there will be a timer displayed within the meeting so you will know when it ends. The video link will close when the
4 minutes is up.
It is recommended that you log-on in advance of your first appointment to check that you can access the School Cloud. If you need any technical support, please contact IThelpdesk@lymmhigh.org.uk.
If your child has more than one teacher for a subject only one of the teachers will be available on the evening. Some teachers may have a high number of Year 7 classes; because of this, they may not be able to see all parents or may not be able to answer all of your questions in the allocated time. If there is a teacher that you cannot get an appointment with, but would like to speak to, then please contact them via their school email address.

We know that money is extremely tight for lots of families at the moment and one avenue of support is to apply for ‘Free School Meals’. These are administered by the Local Authority to eligible parents and enable students to receive £2.40 per day for lunch in the school canteen. Please check the criteria to see if you might qualify – if you do, we would urge you to apply as soon as possible by following the instructions on this form.

The government yesterday released some official data on this year’s GCSE performance. There will be more information in our next newsletter, but we promised to let parents and carers know when this information was available and thought you’d appreciate a quick note before half-term.
The measure that is considered to be the most important these days when judging school performance is ‘Progress 8’ – i.e. a measure of the progress made by students across a wide range of subjects during their time at secondary school, taking into account their starting points in terms of how well they had done at the end of Year 6.
Lymm High School has a Progress 8 score for this summer of 0.54. For context, this is the best in Warrington and, moreover, places us in the top ten of all mixed comprehensive schools in the whole of the North West (around 400 secondary schools across 23 local authorities). This is obviously a fantastic performance, especially for a school that also places so much emphasis on extra-curricular activities and personal development.
Well done again to everyone concerned!
