Warm weather wear

6th September 20236th September 2023 Natalie McGillivary

We have been monitoring things very closely today and have now made the decision to allow students to wear PE kit to school tomorrow and Friday if they so choose. Whilst it has been hot, but not unbearable today, the buildings are starting to get quite warm now and the weather forecast for Friday now appears to be even hotter weather than originally predicted. Therefore, on balance, this seems to be a sensible approach.

Please note that students must wear either their full and proper Lymm High School PE kit or normal uniform (i.e. no ‘mix and match’). Please also note that we will return to full uniform from Monday.

Students in the Sixth Form (who don’t have PE kit) can wear their own clothes provided these are sensible and appropriate for a school environment; for example, shorts of a sensible length and a t-shirt, or a summer dress. Football shirts, cropped / bra tops would not be appropriate. Likewise, sensible footwear needs to be worn (no flip flops or sliders).

As always with anything relating to uniform, we appreciate there will be different views. However, we are grateful for people’s understanding that we have to make a decision one way or another and for your support in whatever we do decide.

Year 12 – First Day of School – Wednesday 6th September

5th September 20235th September 2023 Lisa Hughes

Dear Parent or Carer,

We are very excited to welcome all our new Year 12 students tomorrow, we are sure they will have a wonderful first day and introduction to Sixth Form!

Students should arrive in school by 8.25am and enter school via the Sixth Form entrance and go directly to the Lower Hex, where they will be greeted and given their timetable, followed by breakfast with their tutors. Later in the morning, all students will have new biometrics taken for their fingerprint for their ParentPay school food account, please check that their account is topped up. Students will also have a new portrait photograph taken tomorrow, if any students have not yet got all the Sixth Form uniform, we will have spares available for the photograph.

Miss Dixon, Head of Year 12 will be available to chat to students in the Lower Hex during break and lunchtime if they have any queries. She will also be available in her office at N204 during P5 if a student wishes to speak to her privately. Students may also come and see Mrs Hughes and Miss Lewis at the Sixth Form Student Services desk with any queries at any time. We are all here to help students settle in.

For students travelling to school using Warrington’s Own Buses network, the website has been updated with the latest information here.

In addition, you may have seen in the media the news about some schools being closed due to RAAC concerns. Please be assured that Lymm High is not affected by this issue.

If you, as parents have any questions or queries, please direct them to Mrs Hughes on lhughes@lymmhigh.org.uk (phone Ext 124) in the first instance and she will be happy to help sign post.
