Facial recognition technology for fast, contactless school meal transactions

Lymm High School is installing facial recognition technology to replace the current fingerprint method used to purchase items from our cashless cafeteria. This decision has been made in response to feedback about the lengths of queues at break and lunchtime. The new technology will help to speed up service at our six food serveries across the school site.

Please click here to read the full letter. We hope parents/carers can provide consent and complete this Facial Recognition Consent Form by Friday 26th April 2024.

 

Ofsted

As you know, we had another visit from Ofsted this week. We’re not allowed to say anything until the report is released in a few weeks’ time, but would like to thank parents and carers for their support.

The survey responses were incredibly positive and mean a great deal to us; thank you.

We should also say that students were a credit to you and themselves throughout the process.

Macbeth – Wednesday 28th February

We are delighted to inform you that on Wednesday 28th February during period 1 and 2, your child will be watching a live performance of ‘Macbeth‘ right here on our Lymm High stage! The company of actors are well established and once they have performed the students will have the opportunity to ask them questions about the content of the play or being an actor!

This is a fantastic way to start their comprehensive study of ‘Macbeth‘ so please do ask them questions about the performance when they return home.

Afritwin partnership – Application information

We are delighted with the response in relation to the Afritwin partnership and it was fantastic to have so many of you attend the information evening on Monday.

If you weren’t able to make it the slides can be found here, but please note a change in deadline to initially sign up for the trip, this is now Friday 2nd February.

As discussed, there was more interest than we expected, which means we will look to run another trip in July 2026 as well.

If your child would like to sign up to go on the trip, please complete the form here.

Once the deadline has passed we will offer places on each of the 2025 and 2026 trips. Once places have been allocated, we will contact you with further details regarding confirmation, deposit, payments etc.
