Reminders

Natalie McGillivary

Dear Parents/Carers

Just a couple of reminders from the Heads of Year.

Please can you support us and make sure that students do not come to school wearing the following:

  • Jewellery
  • False lashes (including lash extensions)
  • Trainers
  • Acrylic nails

We appreciate that some students may still be wearing acrylic nails following the summer break so we kindly ask that these are removed over the weekend.

We will be back to full school uniform from Monday.

Kind regards,
Heads of Year

Warm weather wear

Natalie McGillivary

We have been monitoring things very closely today and have now made the decision to allow students to wear PE kit to school tomorrow and Friday if they so choose. Whilst it has been hot, but not unbearable today, the buildings are starting to get quite warm now and the weather forecast for Friday now appears to be even hotter weather than originally predicted. Therefore, on balance, this seems to be a sensible approach.

Please note that students must wear either their full and proper Lymm High School PE kit or normal uniform (i.e. no ‘mix and match’). Please also note that we will return to full uniform from Monday.

Students in the Sixth Form (who don’t have PE kit) can wear their own clothes provided these are sensible and appropriate for a school environment; for example, shorts of a sensible length and a t-shirt, or a summer dress. Football shirts, cropped / bra tops would not be appropriate. Likewise, sensible footwear needs to be worn (no flip flops or sliders).

As always with anything relating to uniform, we appreciate there will be different views. However, we are grateful for people’s understanding that we have to make a decision one way or another and for your support in whatever we do decide.
