Flu Immunisation
The School Nursing team will visit the school on Thursday 26th September to administer flu immunisations to our pupils. Prior to that visit a member of the nursing team will be visiting the school to collect any permission forms. If all outstanding permission forms could please be returned to the school by Friday 20th.
Changes to Swimming next weekDue to the swimming pool being short staffed next week, they are unable to open before noon on Thursday which means school swimming lessons will not take place that day.
Information about Head Lice
Head Lice are a common problem in school aged children. They can’t be prevented, but regular checking ensures early detection and treatment if necessary. Parents and carers should check their children’s head once a week during hair washing. You need your usual shampoo, conditioner, and a detection comb – ask your local pharmacist to recommend a suitable one. Remember that you are looking for living moving lice, the only evidence that your child is infected. If you find a living louse, ask your local pharmacist, school nurse, health visitor or GP for advice regarding treatment.

WOW Certificates
Just a reminder that we love to hear what pupils are getting up to outside of school! A WOW certificate template is attached above for parents to complete to let us know of accomplishments, achievements and great news from home. These are kept as part of pupils profiles and new certificates received will be recognised in class.
