History Residential Trip

Dear parent,

Please find attached important details regarding the History Residential to London 8th-10th February 2023.

This presentation has essential safety and behavioural expectations. The Kit List contains what to/not to bring and the itinerary.

Please check that appropriate clothing has been packed (no crop tops, overly ripped jeans, or shorts) and that pupils have warm layers.
We will do a lot of walking and it will be cold.

Please make sure your child’s medical details are correct and up-to date and we are made aware of any changes, including mental health concerns.

On the day of the trip, it is essential that medication for any listed conditions is handed in. Including inhalers if asthma is listed (even if not used in a while), if it’s on the medical form, we have to account for it. We will not be able to bring pupils who have not got their needed medication.

We are very excited for the trip, and we hope that it will result in some amazing memories, as well as being beneficial to the academic achievements of your child in their GCSEs.

Please do not hesitate to get in touch with any questions.

Email is the best form of contact at fsykes@lymmhigh.org.uk.

Yours sincerely,

Miss Sykes

Trip Lead & Head of History

PTA Quiz

Dear Parent or Carer,

Thank you for buying tickets to next week’s PTA Quiz on Friday 27th January. Please could you ensure you pass this information on to your teammates.

As you know, there will be a fish and chip supper available, plus a bar. We will also be holding a raffle.

We aim to start promptly at 7pm, so would appreciate all teams being at their tables for then. Food will be available from 8pm.

Parking is available in the Sixth Form car park (accessible from the 2nd entrance off Oughtrington lane). However, we ask that cars are not left overnight. Please note that the main school car park (outside the Leisure Centre) will be locked before the end of the quiz.

To enter the Lower Hex, please use the door off the Languages yard. I have attached a map here for parents unfamiliar with the school layout.

Any queries, please email PTA@lymmhigh.org.uk

Thank you for your support. We look forward to seeing you next week.

Safe Drive Trip – Coach issue clarification

Dear Parent or Carer,

We are aware that some images have been circulated on social media in relation to the return coach trip today and we would like to clarify exactly what happened so that you are assured that it was only a very minor incident and there was no danger to any of our students.

After the performance at Middleton Arena, Coach 1 was parked and stationery while we registered students for the return. The bus behind us (from another bus company and school trip) pulled out from behind us and their wing mirror clipped the back corner of the bus. This caused the safety glass to break but it remained in the pane. No shards of glass fell. We disembarked all the students from the bus and waited in the arena while a replacement bus was sent to collect us.

Thank you

Sixth Form Team
