In memoriam

Natalie McGillivary

Mark Jackson was the kindest and most humble of men, who will be very sadly missed by everyone who knew him. He worked as a peripatetic teacher at Lymm High School for over 20 years and in that time supported numerous students through their instrumental and GCSE exams. He shared his outstanding musical ability and expertise as a guitarist teaching classical, rock and jazz styles and had an exceptional ability to communicate with pupils of all ages and abilities. In his quiet and unassuming way, Mark guided his students to achieve outstanding results and Lymm High School will always be grateful for his invaluable support, contribution and dedication to our students. His stoic and selfless approach to life has left an imprint on our hearts.

If you have confirmed that you are joining us at the Meet-the-Tutor event on Monday, we look forward to seeing you from 5pm on the school field. The weather looks good, so please bring a blanket or deck chair to watch the Concert from 6pm. Feel free to bring a picnic and any refreshments. There will also be a Hog Roast and a Bar.

Parking is always tight so we encourage people to walk if they live near. There will also be space available on the Sixth Form car park.

We look forward to seeing you on Monday!

Founders’ Day food bank collections

Natalie McGillivary

In celebrating our school’s history and community links, we will be asking all students to make a minimum donation of £10 for the sponsored Colour Run, which they can gather over the coming weeks by taking part in a variety of charitable tasks both in school and at home. During form time we will be asking tutors to discuss and share ideas about what students could do in order to help them in achieving this donation total.

Additionally, we will be supporting both the Trussell Trust and a local Ukraine Appeal by doing a food bank collection. Our students and families have always been incredibly supportive in previous food bank appeals, so we are looking forward to receiving jars and tins in the run up to Founders’ Day. Items being collected, include:

  • Cereal
  • Soup
  • Pasta
  • Rice
  • Tinned tomatoes/ pasta sauce
  • Lentils, beans and pulses
  • Tinned meat
  • Tinned vegetables
  • Tea/coffee
  • Tinned fruit
  • Biscuits
  • UHT milk
  • Fruit juice

Thank you for your support.
