This week is National Apprenticeship Week.

We have tailored our Careers education to ensure that students are aware of apprenticeships as a potential option for their future. During form time this week, students have had sessions to educate them on what apprenticeships are, what types exist and where they can look to find them.

If students wish to extend their understanding further, we have attached the following resources to support them.

• A Guide to Apprenticeships
• Year 7 activity pack
• Year 8 activity pack
• Year 9 activity pack
• A–Z of Apprenticeships.

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.

Lymm High School is now consulting on the draft admissions policy for 2023/24. There is one proposed change to the admissions policy from that which was adopted when the school became an Academy in 2012 and is currently in force. This is a proposed amendment to the third category of the oversubscription criteria, which relates to medical conditions and has been updated to aid clarity. If you would like to send a response or make a comment in relation to the proposed arrangements, you can do so by emailing or writing as follows:

Email: admissions@lymmhigh.org.uk

Write to: Admissions Consultation,

Clerk to the Governors,

Lymm High School, Oughtrington Lane,

Lymm, Cheshire, WA13 0BR.

The consultation period will run from Friday 15th October 2021 – 3rd December 2021
