Lymm High gets Online

November 5, 2002

The new Lymm High School interactive web site goes live today (Tuesday 5th) on the World Wide Web. Lymmhigh.co.uk aims to provide in-depth information for parents, student and visitors.

The new Web site features in-depth news, events and information relative to the school and its activities. The site incorporates Lymm High’s traditional colours and graphics.

“Our online visitors will now experience a more vibrant and seamless view of Lymm High School and its many online resources,” says Mike Lawton, E-Learning Co-ordinator. “We are hoping the new site will play an important role within the school giving parents, pupils and staff up to the minute information.

We want to develop it as a more effective method of communication between home and school than we have at present. It will enable us to take learning beyond the confines of the school day, giving students (and parents!) a chance to extend and reinforce their studies.”

Content and Accessibility

The new Web site offers users over 200 pages related to Lymm High School. The site is organised to provide quick and direct access to all of these resources. If a user is not sure exactly where to look for specific information on lymmhigh.co.uk, the newly developed site-wide search engine will help.

Among the features on lymmhigh.co.uk’s homepage, "Learning Zone" is being developed to provide a truly interactive learning experience for pupils. It will extend pupils ability to learn on-line, allowing access to course material, subject matter, their on-line learning portfolio as well as tests and revision quizzes.

“For Visitors” will features our half termly newsletter, and other items of interest to the casual visitor.

“For Parents & Students” features an interactive calendar, Halls information, sports fixtures and other in-depth information.

“School Links” contains links to relative organisations associated with the school.

The new website has been developed by 3-Squared LLP, a web design and business solutions company based in Sheffield, working closely with the staff and pupils of Lymm High School.

"This new design was created specifically for our online audience of both general visitors and students," says Director James Fox. "Packed with information, and news that will be constantly updated, the Web site will help make the school’s resources more attractive and accessible to a global audience of all ages and backgrounds."

James also commented, "We hope to keep working closely with the school to eventually allow parents to view their children's reports online - this is only the beginning of the website, we hope it can grow with the school as necessary."
