A Level Geography – Non-Examined Assessment (NEA) – Year 13

Lisa Hughes

I am writing to let you know that as part of your child’s A Level Geography Course, they must produce an independent project on a topic of their choice that fits with the AQA A Level Geography Specification Content. This is called the Non-Examined Assessment or NEA and is worth 20% of the final A Level.

The NEA has been launched to students recently by their geography class teacher. General guidance regarding the structure and suitable content for investigations has been provided in lessons. However, students should plan to collect their primary data during the summer vacation so that this can be used at the start of the new academic term in September.

Students are required to submit a proposed title for their independent investigation to their geography teacher for approval by Friday 21st July. Further deadlines regarding the completion of this work have been emailed to students and can be found on SMHW.

Your support with the completion of this work and the meeting of deadlines would be greatly appreciated. Should you require any further information, please contact Mrs Rigby, Head of Key Stage 5 Geography.

Year 13 Prom Night

Lisa Hughes

Dear Parent or Carer,

We hope that students are all having a wonderful summer so far and enjoying the break from study and exams. If tickets have been booked and paid for Prom tomorrow night, we are very much looking forward to seeing them!

Pom starts at 7pm and finishes at 11pm (Wednesday 12th July at Statham Lodge Hotel). Students need to make sure they have lifts / taxis arranged to ensure they are off-site promptly once Prom has finished.

If students use an inhaler / epipen / other medication, please ensure they bring this with them and finally a reminder that students must not bring alcohol to the Prom and parents will be expect to collect students who arrive under the influence of alcohol.

Thank you for your support, if you have any questions or queries, please email lhughes@lymmhigh.org.uk

Many thanks

They did it!!!

Lisa Hughes

Dear parent/carer,

I’m not ashamed to admit that while setting off the final A level exam this afternoon, my emotions got the better of me! There’s something particularly poignant about the end of the exam season and the realisation that students’ time at Lymm High School has come to an end. Throughout the last two years and in particular in the run up to the external exam season and coursework deadlines, students have been simply amazing. The resilience and determination they have shown reassures us that they are ready for whatever life has in store for them next and we wish them the very best of luck and happiness.

We have our Art Exhibition to look forward to this week, which will celebrate the endless hours of work from our Art, Photography and 3D design students, the annual Fashion show will follow on 6th July; we hope to see you there. We are also looking forward to seeing all of our Yr13 students at the prom on 12th July, for their final goodbye.

On behalf of myself, the sixth form team, the teaching and support staff at Lymm, thank you very much for all of your support over the last two years, I hope you can now breathe a sigh of relief; they did it!

We hope you have a wonderful summer, please do take a moment to look at the slides shared at last week’s recent information, advice and guidance evening to prepare yourself for results day PowerPoint Presentation (lymmhigh.org.uk)

Thank you again,

Mrs Jennings

 

Sixth Form Induction Day

Lisa Hughes

Dear Parent / Carer,

We are very much looking forward to welcoming your child next Tuesday 27th June for the Sixth Form Induction Day. We have planned a full timetable for them, including taster lessons, a quiz and fun and games on the field after lunch, including an ice cream van.

Your child should arrive at school between 8am and 8.15am and go directly to the Lower Hex for registration, where they will be able to collect their timetable for the day. If they use any medication, such as an inhaler, epipen or insulin pen, please make sure they bring these with them. Please can you ensure there is money on your child’s School Food ParentPay account so they can purchase food at break and lunchtime (PP students will have their usual food allocation on their accounts).

Your child should attend in their own clothes, making sure they are in something suitable and comfy for the activities on the field. They could bring a water bottle as it looks set to be a pleasantly warm day. They will also need their mobile phone to take part in an online quiz (there is a prize for the winning person / team!).

If you have any questions or concerns in advance of the day, please email lhughes@lymmhigh.org.uk
