Homework and knowledge organiser information evening

Natalie McGillivary

Dear Parents and Carers,

Thank you to those of you who logged on yesterday hoping to join our Year 7 homework and knowledge organiser information evening. Please accept our apologies for the technical difficulties that prevented the event from going ahead.

Having resolved these technical difficulties, we will look to a rescheduled date for this event on an evening next week – further details and zoom links will be sent out later this week once a suitable date has been agreed.

Apologies once again, and thank you for your patience. Your engagement in your child’s education, and smooth transition to Lymm High School is always much appreciated, and we look forward to speaking to you directly next week.

Miss Mulholland and Mrs Worrall

 

Year 7 Homework and Knowledge Organiser Information Evening

Natalie McGillivary

To help Year 7 parents support their child with the transition to high school, and the expectations of homework and revision, Mrs Worrall (Head of Year 7) and Miss Mulholland (Assistant Headteacher – Teaching and Learning) will be hosting an information session via Zoom on Tuesday 16th November, which will run from 7pm.

The link to the zoom meeting can be found here: https://lymmhigh-org-uk.zoom.us/j/5112590866

There will be an opportunity to ask questions, and to hear about the specific revision strategies that students have been taught in school to ensure they are making the most effective use of their knowledge organisers for revision of lesson content. For parents unable to attend, resources will be placed online after the event.

 

Wellbeing Evening – 17th November 2021

Natalie McGillivary

On Wednesday 17th November (6–7pm) we are inviting parents and carers to attend school for a mental health information evening in the Main Hall.

The mental health and wellbeing of our young people is vitally important and now, more than ever, we hope to encourage our students to speak out, ask questions and access the support they need for their wellbeing.

The wellbeing evening will include a presentation from our Mental Health Lead Mrs Hunter alongside information from the School Nurse service and Kooth.com. The evening will explore a variety of mental health difficulties faced by young people together with practical strategies and advice for parents and carers to help support our students with their wellbeing.

We look forward to welcoming you all to the evening.

Early close – 12.15pm on 17th December 2021

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, 17th December. We know from the early finish for Open Evening before half-term that nearly all of you found alternative ways of children making their way home and only a handful actually used the buses on this day. We are assuming the picture would be similar again in December and would like to avoid the need for all buses to come to school at 3.15pm only for most to return to the depot empty. The most straightforward thing to do will be to cancel the buses altogether and make alternative arrangements for the few who are likely to need them.

Therefore, if your child will not be able to make their way home any other way on Friday 17th December, please let us know by Friday 3rd December by emailing amogey@lymmhigh.org.uk and we will organise transport home for them separately, probably via a school minibus. If the numbers involved mean that we do need to use school buses, we will make arrangements to look after your children until the buses leave at their normal times.
