Summer Bedding Plants

Natalie McGillivary

We’ve sourced a new plant supplier and are able to offer a selection of bedding plants once again. The prices are slightly higher than in previous years due to the cost of compost having risen significantly over the last 12 months. However, the range of plants is much greater than we’ve been able to offer before. If you’d like to order any plants, please complete the order form here, and return to school Reception by Wednesday 27th April or email to info@lymmhigh.org.uk.

Delivery will be in May before the Half Term.

Rearranged Theatre Trip

Natalie McGillivary

We are happy to confirm that we have rearranged the theatre trip for Thursday 21st April for those students whose trip was cancelled. Apologies for this late notice, the theatre has only just got back to us.

Students must bring a packed lunch to school that they will eat during Period 4.

We will leave school at approximately 1pm for the performance at 2pm. Students will return to school between 5.30pm and 6pm but will be able to call or message parents on their way home.

Food at the theatre is limited so we advise students to bring their own snacks and a drink to enjoy during the performance.

Natalie McGillivary

Next week we are hosting a series of lunchtime career talks for students in Years 7 and 8. Students can bring sandwiches to eat during the events, which are planned to last 30 minutes (1.30-2pm) in the Leisure Centre Studio. The talks will be as follows:

  • Monday 25th April: Careers in the NHS
  • Tuesday 26th April: Careers in Finance
  • Wednesday 27th April: Careers in Engineering
  • Thursday 28th April: Careers in health and social care

We hope lots of students will join us!

Covid-19 latest guidance

Natalie McGillivary

Dear parents and carers

I hope you are well and have been enjoying the Easter holiday. Apologies for interrupting the break, but I am writing with a quick update on the latest guidance relating to Covid-19 and what actions to take if staff or students are unwell.

You may be aware that, as of April 1st, the government published its Living with Covid strategy. This means that there is no longer a requirement for students or staff to test regularly and that the universal/free testing has now finished.

The following guidance is now in place if students or staff are unwell with Covid-19 symptoms:

  • Children and young people who are unwell and have a high temperature should stay at home and avoid contact with other people. They can go back to school when they no longer have a high temperature, and they feel well enough to attend.
  • Adults with the symptoms of a respiratory infection, and who have a high temperature or feel unwell, should try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people until they feel well enough to resume normal activities and they no longer have a high temperature.
  • In the event that a Covid-19 test is taken, adults with a positive test result should try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people for 5 days, which is when they are most infectious. For children and young people aged 18 and under, the advice is 3 days.
  • There is no longer a requirement for students or staff to return a negative test before returning to school once they have remained at home for the recommended period of time.

Remote learning via our ‘window into lessons’ will remain available for confirmed Covid cases for the time being, so please make sure you let us know if this is the case for your child.

As ever, please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any concerns or questions. Otherwise, enjoy the rest of the day and I look forward to welcoming everyone back tomorrow.

Kind regards

Gwyn Williams

Theatre trip cancelled – Tuesday 29th March

Natalie McGillivary

Today all Year 7 L forms were due to go to the theatre to see the performance of the House with Chicken Legs. Unfortunately, this has been cancelled by the theatre due to technical issues. We are very disappointed and will do our best to ensure the students get another opportunity to see this performance next term. We will communicate alternative dates as soon as these are confirmed.

Students will be told at breaktime (10.45-11.15) that they won’t be going today. Normal lessons will commence. Please don’t worry that your child may not have the correct equipment needed for lessons.

We ask that you arrange normal collection at the end of the school day as usual. We will allow the students to use their mobile phones at breaktime should you wish to communicate information to them about collection from school.

We do apologise on behalf of the theatre. As far as we know tomorrow’s performance will still be going ahead.
