  • Ukraine Collection March 2022

    Published 21/03/22

    As we have continued to witness the tragic events in Ukraine, staff and students were quick to respond to the need to offer our support with donations to the refugees fleeing the country.    An appeal was set up asking students to bring in items of dried and tinned food, first aid equipment and toiletries – the response was overwhelming with many students bringing in multiple bags of items to donate.   Many students also gave monetary donations that were used to purchase items to be donated on their behalf.   All items will be taken to a local Ukraine collection point.

    Mr Dean said ‘I am really proud of our students’ response to the Ukraine appeal.  In the face of aggression there is always hope and our young people have lived up to that standard.  Well done!’

  • Students make their mark!

    Published 16/02/22

    On 11th February, Poynton High School students cast their votes in the Youth Parliament Elections. Year 7-9 students completed an online ballot, whilst Year 10-13 students posted their entries at our polling station by main reception.  Though remaining votes are yet to be counted, it is indicated that our students have chosen Oliver Probert-Hill as their representative. Oliver plans to focus on promoting equal rights and ending poverty. Our students have also selected Poverty (particularly Child Poverty) as the topic that they most want debated in parliament. Cheshire East Council will announce the overall result in March.

    We thank all students involved. You can find out more information on the UK Youth Parliament here: https://www.byc.org.uk/uk/uk-youth-parliament
