Applications for free school meals and clothing grants for school session 2022/2023 are now open.
You should apply for free school meals and a clothing grant if you are on a low income and receive a qualifying benefit. We also make payments in lieu of free school meals during school holidays (spring, summer, October and Christmas). You can only get these if you have applied for free school meals. If you apply for a clothing grant by Friday 15 July and include all the required supporting documentation, then the council will be able to process your application and make a payment to you before the start of the new school term.

Today, as part of Pupil Vision Week, we are announcing our new school values. Five simple words which sum up who we are and what we believe in. These values came from you and from us. We spoke to pupils in every year group and all the staff, and when we looked at all the responses, these were the words that shone through for everyone. We hope that we can all value the same things and place our efforts on being true to our values, true to our school and true to ourselves.

Linwood High School is looking to build on our established good practise in becoming more sustainable. We are planning to look at recycling school uniforms. Many of our children rapidly grow out of their uniforms with very little wear and these could easily be recycled. If you have any items of uniform (black trousers or skirts, black jumpers or cardigans, blazers or school jackets, school shirts, ties, PE tops or even school bags) that you feel have plenty of use in them, could you drop these items into the school over the next few weeks? We have kindly been donated some clothes rails for our use. Our wonderful senior pupils will be taking the lead on co-ordinating this.
Thank you to everyone who has already signed up to our Parent Pay system, we are now at 53%. You will be aware that there are a few events in the near future such as; Prom, Leavers Hoodies and Yearbooks. Payment for these items will be through Parent Pay with the end date for payment being scheduled for March 31st. If you have not done so already, please sign up to Parent Pay. The exams take place on Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th March. Please check the timetable in the department for your allocated time. Good luck to everyone taking part and keep practising.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank parents for their continued support during the implementation of our new cashless system, Parent Pay. We currently have 48% of parents signed up which is great however, we would like to get as many parents signed up as possible. We have a few events and items for purchase that will go live on the parent pay system in the near future such as; prom, year books, hoodies and school ties.
Parent Pay allows parents to: Pay for school meals and monitor account balances Pay for Trips, Events and Resources Check Account Balances Give consent digitally saving time and paperwork If you have not yet had the opportunity to sign up to our Parent Pay system, Activation Letters will be issued to children on Wednesday 16th February.
