Apprenticeships Go – 2nd December 2021

Natalie McGillivary

This event (6–7.30pm on the LearnLive platform) is a fantastic opportunity for anyone wanting to know more about apprenticeships. There will be employers telling us what they look for in someone who is applying for an apprenticeship, what stands out on a CV and sharing their top tips.

Apprentices from across the region will be answering questions from an interactive quiz and there will be a series of videos telling us the kind of work they do, why they chose to do an apprenticeship and more. All apprentices and employers will be live on the chat throughout the event to answer any questions about apprenticeships.

There will also be information on what kinds of apprenticeships there are, the different levels and where you can find them.

You could win one of five £20 Amazon Vouchers. All you need to do is register for the event and ensure that the box about ‘sharing information with your school’ is ticked.

Wellbeing Evening – 17th November 2021

Natalie McGillivary

On Wednesday 17th November (6–7pm) we are inviting parents and carers to attend school for a mental health information evening in the Main Hall.

The mental health and wellbeing of our young people is vitally important and now, more than ever, we hope to encourage our students to speak out, ask questions and access the support they need for their wellbeing.

The wellbeing evening will include a presentation from our Mental Health Lead Mrs Hunter alongside information from the School Nurse service and Kooth.com. The evening will explore a variety of mental health difficulties faced by young people together with practical strategies and advice for parents and carers to help support our students with their wellbeing.

We look forward to welcoming you all to the evening.

Early close – 12.15pm on 17th December 2021

Natalie McGillivary

The bus company have told us that they will not be able to send buses earlier to collect students for our early finish on the last day of term, 17th December. We know from the early finish for Open Evening before half-term that nearly all of you found alternative ways of children making their way home and only a handful actually used the buses on this day. We are assuming the picture would be similar again in December and would like to avoid the need for all buses to come to school at 3.15pm only for most to return to the depot empty. The most straightforward thing to do will be to cancel the buses altogether and make alternative arrangements for the few who are likely to need them.

Therefore, if your child will not be able to make their way home any other way on Friday 17th December, please let us know by Friday 3rd December by emailing amogey@lymmhigh.org.uk and we will organise transport home for them separately, probably via a school minibus. If the numbers involved mean that we do need to use school buses, we will make arrangements to look after your children until the buses leave at their normal times.
