Year 9 Choices

At this stage of Year 9, it is time to consider students’ choices for KS4 and ultimately those subjects they will achieve their first external qualifications in. We know these are big decisions and would like to reassure students and parents that there will be a great deal of support on offer during the Year 9 Choices process, which is about to start.

Lymm Learner programme

We are excited to announce an inspiring new initiative at Lymm High School: The Lymm Learner. This programme is designed to recognise and cultivate qualities that we believe are essential for students to thrive academically and personally. As part of this, our positive points system will be shifting to better reflect the qualities of a ‘Lymm Learner.’

A ‘Lymm Learner’ is a student who:

  • Takes responsibility for their own learning.
  • Is motivated by their progress and strives to improve.
  • Asks thoughtful questions and confidently challenges assumptions.
  • Thinks critically to enhance their understanding.
  • Embraces setbacks as learning opportunities and shows resilience.

Each week, students will earn Lymm Learner Hall points for demonstrating these attributes in their classes. The top three students in each year group who accumulate the most Lymm Learner Hall points will receive a special certificate, which will be sent home in recognition of their dedication and success.

Change to dates of summer term

The original calendar for this year involved an INSET day on Friday 27th June. However, for various reasons (mainly related to exams and trips to Tynny) it no longer works to hold the INSET day then. Therefore, Friday 27th June will now be a normal school day. Instead, we will finish for the summer holidays on Friday 18th July (as opposed to the original plan of Tuesday 22nd July). Apologies for any inconvenience and please do let your Head of Year know if this causes any major problems.
