Managing exam stress and wellbeing

Natalie McGillivary

As the Year 11 exams are approaching, the school mental health team would like to share with you some helpful tips and advice around managing student stress and wellbeing during this period.

Please find linked here, a copy of a presentation delivered by Miss Newton for Year 11 students, aimed at highlighting coping skills that may be useful throughout the exam period. This presentation will be shared during Form time for Year 11 and we hope can be a valuable tool of reference for parents also.

Revision timetables can be useful to help alleviate any anxiety around revision planning. A blank revision template can be found on our KS4 revision webpage here and hard copies are available in Student Services should students prefer these.

If your child would prefer to explore exam support advice online, the following websites and videos may be of use:

Parent/Carer advice:

If you would like to speak to the mental health team about any additional support you feel would be needed at the moment for your son/daughter, please email rhunter@lymmhigh.org.uk.

We wish all the Year 11s the best of luck with their upcoming exams!

Kind Regards,
Mrs R Hunter
Mental Health Lead

Facial recognition technology for fast, contactless school meal transactions

Natalie McGillivary

Lymm High School is installing facial recognition technology to replace the current fingerprint method used to purchase items from our cashless cafeteria. This decision has been made in response to feedback about the lengths of queues at break and lunchtime. The new technology will help to speed up service at our six food serveries across the school site.

Please click here to read the full letter. We hope parents/carers can provide consent and complete this Facial Recognition Consent Form by Friday 26th April 2024.

 

Ofsted

Natalie McGillivary

As you know, we had another visit from Ofsted this week. We’re not allowed to say anything until the report is released in a few weeks’ time, but would like to thank parents and carers for their support.

The survey responses were incredibly positive and mean a great deal to us; thank you.

We should also say that students were a credit to you and themselves throughout the process.
