Summer Bedding Plants
We’ve sourced a new plant supplier and are able to offer a selection of bedding plants once again. The prices are slightly higher than in previous years due to the cost of compost having risen significantly over the last 12 months. However, the range of plants is much greater than we’ve been able to offer before. If you’d like to order any plants, please complete the order form here, and return to school Reception by Wednesday 27th April or email to info@lymmhigh.org.uk.
Delivery will be in May before the Half Term.
Ray Kelly
Earlier this week we lost a valued member of our teaching staff, Mr Ray Kelly. Many of you will be as shocked as we are and, of course, all our thoughts and best wishes are with his family at this time.
In memoriam
Ray Kelly
11.08.65–18.04.22
Ray Kelly was a kind, quiet and decent man who had committed over 20 years to the Performing Arts faculty at the school. He played a vitally important role within the music department in particular, directing the big band, arranging music for various ensembles and supporting hundreds of individual students over the years as an instrumental teacher, music technician and an accompanist. In recent years, his exceptional musical talent was showcased in the school productions, particularly Les Miserables and West Side Story, events which could not have taken place without Ray’s skills and expertise. Outside of school, Ray was well known within the Lymm community and beyond for his wonderful piano playing and his passion for live performances; he was a quintessential jazz musician, always taking life in his stride and it is probably fair to say that Ray was at his happiest when playing as part of a jazz ensemble.

Rearranged Theatre Trip
We are happy to confirm that we have rearranged the theatre trip for Thursday 21st April for those students whose trip was cancelled. Apologies for this late notice, the theatre has only just got back to us.
Students must bring a packed lunch to school that they will eat during Period 4.
We will leave school at approximately 1pm for the performance at 2pm. Students will return to school between 5.30pm and 6pm but will be able to call or message parents on their way home.
Food at the theatre is limited so we advise students to bring their own snacks and a drink to enjoy during the performance.
