Every year, throughout England, more than a million children in Reception and Year 6 have their height and weight measured at school as part of the National Child Measurement Programme. Please see the letter in 'Letters & Useful Information' below for further information.
If you are happy for your child to be measured, you do not need to do anything. If we have not heard from you, we will assume that you are happy for your child to take part.
If you do not want your child’s height and weight to be measured, or if your child has a medical condition that affects their height or weight, please let the school nurses team know by completing the opt out form at the end of the letter and returning it to the School Office.
The height and weight check will take place in school this term.
Please make sure that any messages about your child's attendance - illness, absence, appointments, early pick-up etc. - are given to the school office, not just to their teacher.
You can either drop in to the office or contact them by
