Parent Survey – March 2022

Helena Headon

Dear Parent/Carer

Please could we ask that you spend 5 minutes completing this Parent Survey. This is the first survey of this kind since the COVID pandemic and therefore we are particularly keen to receive as many responses as we can.

Thank you in anticipation for your valuable feedback. I will provide a response to the key messages we receive in due course.

Kind regards

Gwyn Williams

Covid Vaccinations

Natalie McGillivary

Please click here to read a letter about the School-aged Immunisation Team’s next visit to school. This visit will specifically deliver vaccinations to those students for whom we have consent, but were absent/unwell/refused/not yet aged 12 or not eligible due to having had Covid infection or their 1st dose of Covid vaccine in the previous 12 weeks.

The team are due in school on Monday 28th February, and the online consent form closes at 11am on Thursday 17th February.

Safer Internet Day – Tuesday 8th February 2022

Natalie McGillivary

On Tuesday 8th February we will be joining schools and youth organisations across the UK in celebrating Safer Internet Day 2022. Safer Internet Day is a global campaign to promote the safe and responsible use of technology, which calls on young people, parents, carers, teachers, social workers, law enforcement, companies, policymakers and more, to join together in helping to create a better internet.

Using the internet safely and positively is a key message that we promote in Lymm High School and celebrating Safer Internet Day is a great opportunity for us to re-emphasise the online safety messages we deliver throughout the year. This week, students will be looking at this theme as part of their Life Programme during form time.

We would be delighted if you could join us in celebrating the day by continuing the conversation at home. To help you with this, you may be interested in downloading the free Safer Internet Day  Resources for Parents and Carers, which is available at: saferinternet.org.uk/sid-parents.

There are top tips, quizzes and films which you can use at home with your child.
Some other resources which you may find helpful in supporting your child online are:

Online safety is an important issue which Lymm High School is committed to teaching our students about.

If you have any concerns or questions about keeping your child safe online, please do get in touch with your child’s Pastoral Manager, Head of Year, or our designated safeguarding lead Mrs Ball.

Year 9 Choices

Natalie McGillivary

Dear Parent or Carer,

Thank you for your support with the options process so far. There have been some issues with pupils logging on to the Options Online service and a number of questions about this. We are more than happy to help but please could we ask that before you contact school, your son / daughter has checked their school email and read through the instructions carefully. Mr Seddon has sent out further guidance to all Year 9 students this morning via email.

Please note also that on the options form, there is a tick box for parent consent which is NOT required at Lymm High School so please don’t try to tick this or worry that you can’t. This will not affect the submission of the form.

Many thanks again for your patience and support as we complete this process with our Year 9 pupils
