After the huge success of last years dinner, please click here for details of our Lymm High School Sportsmans Dinner, to be held Friday 27th April, 2018.

Please note: Due to unforeseen circumstances the date has changed to Friday 27th April, not February 2018, as previously stated.  It promises to be another fantastic evening!

A huge thank you to everyone who supported our whole school Santa Dash on the 4th December. We are pleased to announce that along with staff and students having lots of fun on the day, we raised a tremendous £21,178.19 from the event!

Well done 7TH, winners of our inter form Santa dash challenge, who managed to raise an amazing £1,136.10 towards the finished total.

Closely followed by form groups 7ML, 7TL and 7DL!

We could not have done this without the support from everyone involved and those who donated, thank you to everyone who Pitched in!

 

Premier League referee, Anthony Taylor, and Liverpool and England player Ellie Fletcher visited Lymm High School yesterday to witness a cheque for £10,000 being handed over to support “Pitch In!”, the school’s bid to build a brand new 3G pitch.

The money was being donated by Lymm Rovers Junior Football Club and the two celebrities were joined by students from Statham Primary School as well as Lymm High’s own students, all of whom also play for Lymm Rovers.

Gavin Laidlaw, chairman of Lymm Rovers said:

“Lymm Rovers have worked as a partner with Lymm High School for many years now, continuing to grow as a club and continuing to provide a safe and fun environment to allow children and adults to learn how to play the game.

We share the school’s ambition to have first class facilities in place for the students and wider community.

It gives us great pleasure to donate £10,000 to the Pitch In! campaign with money that we have set aside for exactly this sort of opportunity”

Gwyn Williams, headteacher said:

“We are very grateful for the money, which provides a significant boost in our campaign to raise £100,000 this year.

Having Ellie and Anthony here today, alongside children from Statham Primary and representatives from Lymm Rovers, underlines the fact that this is a bid for a facility to support the whole community. I know Anthony is desperate to see more pitches built locally in order to support training of referees and it would also allow us to offer significantly more pitch time in the evenings and weekends to local groups. It’s a very exciting project.”

Ellie Fletcher, who has been capped three times for England this season, said:

“Having a 3G pitch in the area would be fantastic for local clubs. There’s growing evidence that girls in particular love playing on these surfaces and having one in Lymm would provide a massive boost for girls football. I’m delighted to be able to support this campaign.”

Anyone wishing to support the campaign can visit http://www.lymmhigh.org.uk/about-us/pitch-in/ for more details.

Tutor group 9ML have persuaded England’s all-time record goalscorer, Wayne Rooney, to donate a signed Everton shirt to the school for the Pitch In! campaign.

The students will be holding an auction in the run up to Christmas and we will give the shirt to the person who makes the highest bid by 12pm on Thursday 21st December. It could make a fantastic Christmas present for someone!

The auction will work on a ‘sealed bid’ basis. Please email your highest bid to pitchin@lymmhigh.org.uk  by the deadline and we will contact you if you have been successful. The amount people have bid will be kept private.

Mr Williams is a keen Everton fan and has started the bidding at £150, so we can reveal that you will need to bid more than that if you are to win this fabulous item!
