Just a little reminder, please complete and return the Flu Immunisation consent form by Friday 14th October, at the latest.
We need all consent forms back to school whether your child/children will be having the flu spray or not.
Thank you to everyone that has already brought their consent forms back to school.
Thank you!
A letter has gone home with your child today regarding the Vision Screening for Reception Class Children.
On Thursday 20th October Reception will be having vision screening to test your child’s eyes, treat squints and lazy eyes etc. The tests will be short simple matching games with letters which will involve wearing a pair of glasses with one eye covered, in order to test the vision of the other eye.
If you DO NOT want your child to take part in this vision screening, please send the opt out form back to the school office before Wednesday 12th October.
Thank you!

It’s that time of year again when the School Nurses come in to administer the flu vaccine (flu spray up the nose) to all pupils. They will be in school on Monday 14th November 2022.
Their letter and consent form will be coming home with every child this week, and the School Nurses request that you return the form to the school office within one week. They also stipulate that all forms must be completed and returned whether you wish your child to have the flu spray or not.
It would be hugely helpful if you could return the forms promptly so we (in the school office) do not need to spend a great deal of time chasing (nagging!) parents for the forms! Thank you in advance – it will be really appreciated.
Here is a printable copy of the letter and form: Flu Vaccine Letter October 2022
Places will be sold in advance via School Money with a register on the door.

As I am sure most of us are aware head lice can become a big problem if everyone isn’t checking their child/ren’s hair regularly and treating (by whatever method works for you) because as long as just one child in school goes untreated many other children will be reinfected. For this reason why not print off this chart and check your child once a week?

On Thursday 9th June, the Year 6 pupils will be attending Nesscliffe Training Camp for a day of ‘Crucial Crew’ events.
Children will need to take a substantial packed lunch and large drink (in a plastic container please – not glass), a warm and waterproof coat or jacket, and will need suitable footwear, trousers and a school sweatshirt.
We shall leave the school at 8.50am on the coach and arrive back at school for approximately 3.00pm. The school will be paying for half of the cost of the visit, so, a contribution of £4.00 towards the cost of staging this event would be much appreciated. (Children not contributing will not be treated differently, although we do need sufficient voluntary contributions if the visit is to go ahead). A letter will be sent home on Friday 27th May, please complete the consent slip and return it to school before Tuesday, 7th June.
