If your child is eligible for Free School Meals, you are eligible to receive the Household Support Fund (previously known as the Covid Winter Grant) to help with food and fuel costs over the winter period. Please click the link below for information about how to apply and we would urge you to apply as soon as possible so you don’t miss out.

If any families who live outside of Warrington local authority (e.g. Trafford, Cheshire East, Salford, etc) experience any problems applying, please email Miss Dixon ndixon@lymmhigh.org.uk.

Due to staff absence, the DofE registration session on Wednesday after school will unfortunately not be taking place. However in order to get students registered, their tutors will provide them with their unique username and we’ll get instructions out to them as soon as possible in the form of a step-by-step helpsheet. Students need to check their school email for this.

Students can see Mrs Hill if they need any help.

Dear parent or carer

Firstly, thank you for your continued engagement with the testing programme at home. It has been extremely valuable in helping to minimise the spread of Covid-19. We will be sending further testing kits home to be used over the Christmas period and request that students test at home on Monday 3^rd January.

In addition to this, we have been asked by the Government to test all students once on return to school in January. This means that Years 7 to 11 will return to school on Tuesday 4th January and testing will take place during normal lesson time throughout the day. Years 12 and 13 will receive remote lessons on Tuesday 4th and will return to school on Wednesday 5th January, with testing taking place during form time and period one.

For anyone who is new to the school or has not yet given consent, please complete the form in the link here. If you have previously given consent you do not need to complete this. The consent form will need to be completed separately for each child. Sixth form students are allowed to complete the form themselves. If you are completing the form then please do so before we break up for the holidays.

As a reminder, on the day, if a student were to test positive on the lateral flow test then they would be required to take a confirmatory PCR test. If this test is positive they will then have to isolate, but if it is negative they can return to school.

Having undertaken the testing process a number of times our systems are now very efficient.  However, we are currently in need of some extra volunteers to help with the process. The process is very straight forward and you would have lots of support on the day. If you are available on Tuesday 4^th January 8am until 3.10pm and Wednesday 5^th January 8am until 10.45am and feel you would be able to help, then please get in touch with Ms McGuffie tmcguffie@lymmhigh.org.uk.

Thanks again for your continued support.

Yours faithfully

Mr R Johnson
Deputy Headteacher
