About

We wish you a very warm Welcome to Lymm High School. Lymm High School has a long history as a successful and popular school and it is a real honour to have the opportunity to lead such a special place. I feel very fortunate indeed to be here.

Even the shortest time spent in the school makes it clear that students here are typically very well brought up; they are bright, conscientious and ambitious. They enjoy their time at school and contribute hugely to the warm and positive atmosphere about the place.

It is also immediately apparent that staff choose to work here for all the right reasons; they care about the young people they serve and work hard on their behalf. In particular, they give up many hours of their own time to facilitate a remarkable range of trips and extra-curricular activities, utilising the fantastic grounds and facilities that we are blessed with.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.

Governing body (24 current, 6 former)

iAcademy trust: local governing body and trust board.

24 governors are linked to a profile (23 confirmed, 1 (likely)).

Governors marked “Confirmed same person” have exactly the same forename and surname as the only officer of that name at the school’s own academy trust company on the Companies House register, so we treat them as the same person. The governance record itself comes from DfE.
