Arrangements for PE lessons during Year 11 mock exams

Natalie McGillivary

Due to Covid-19, boys have been utilising the Sports Hall as a changing room. However, this will not be available from Friday 4th December until the end of term because of the Year 11 mock exams. Therefore, boys are expected to come into school in their PE kit for the days when they have their lessons. PE kit MUST be in line with School PE kit regulations.

As we are unable to use the changing rooms, students are expected to leave their bags in the school gym. This will be part of the PE routine and will be communicated to students.

It is advisable that students bring a spare pair of shoes and socks to school. It is likely, even if it is not raining, that the astro-turf may be wet, and a spare pair of footwear means they are not in wet footwear for the remainder of the day. Unfortunately, if the weather is extremely wet, lessons may have to be adapted with groups going in classrooms for part of the lesson.

Please note that Year 11s will continue with PE lessons during the mock exam period.

Consultation on relationship & sex education policy

Natalie McGillivary

As you may be aware, the Government have made changes to the legislation regarding Relationship & Sex Education (RSE) and these changes are due to come into effect shortly. As part of these updates, we have made some minor changes to our RSE Policy.

There are no substantial changes needed to our policy because it was already in line with the expectations set out in the new legislation but, as parents of students attending Lymm High School, we are offering a consultation on the proposed draft policy before it is submitted to Governors for ratification. Please click here to read the new policy.

Should you wish to make any comments, please email info@lymmhigh.org.uk by 3pm on Friday 13th November 2020.

 

Progress Reports 2020-2021

Natalie McGillivary

We are going to be trialling sending out progress reports this year electronically via the School Gateway app and via email. Year 11 and 13 progress reports are due out after October half-term, and Year 7, 8 & 9 are due out mid-November. Year 10 are due early December, and Year 12 due mid-December. We hope this will more reliably ensure parents receive their child’s progress reports, and also ensure parents who have parental responsibility but do not live with their child are kept up-to-date with their progress in school. In order to receive your child’s progress report, please make sure you have downloaded the School Gateway app from the app store (it’s free) – if you need login details for the app because you haven’t used it before or have been locked out, please contact ithelpdesk@lymmhigh.org.uk. Please also ensure that we have the correct mobile number and email address for you – to let us know of any changes, please contact MIS@lymmhigh.org.uk. If you have any other questions, please get in touch with your child’s Head of Year.
