[edit] Updates

Updated Alumni section - added Tim Curry (Winter Term 1957 until Spring Term 1958) and Rick Astley (1977-1983). Removed Sir Percy Craddock - does not appear on OSA list, therefore cannot confirm he attended Lymm; contemporary source at OSA states he may have attended Bridgewater. --87.74.86.195 05:03, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Inaccuracies

In around 24 hours I will be making some changes to this article as it is littered with factual inaccuracies. Its as though old students from the early 90s, and long before that, have attempted to fuse their own experience with the modern school and missed a large chunk of its history. A great example of this is in the 'School Halls' section where someone has linked an old four-hall system with the new five-hall system. I can tell you for fact that between 1995 (and earlier) and 2002 there was NO hall system at all. Another example is the "School Song"... I was a student at Lymm High between 1997 and 2004, and can tell you that there is no such thing as a school song at Lymm. It is an archaic piece of history that is part of someone's experience from likely the 50s or 60s. It should remain as a piece of history, but should not be dressed as though it is a contemporary occurence. This is to give you advanced warning of my edit. Thehumph 18:59, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

The linking of the Hall system goes to a speech given by Mr Lounds the heacteacher when they were instigated. I was a 6th former when it came in, and, while it (the hall system) wasn't there before, there was supposed to be a link with the old halls - demonstrated by the reallocation of staff.

As for a school song, never heard of it. Get rid of it. --80.138.107.137 21:31, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

As a member of Lymm High school's choir I have heard this song before but we do not tend to use it. We tend to sing the older school song more often "'Jerusalum'" Which was not written for Lymm High School.
