Dear Parents & Carers
Happy New Year to all our school community and welcome back to a shiny new year and new term!
We have lots of lovely things planned for the children for this term, so please make sure you keep up to date with the calendar as things are changing all the time!
Kind regards
Mr McCadden
NHS pharmacy 1st Service
Did you know that the NHS Pharmacy First Service enables children and adults to get convenient access to healthcare advice and treatment where appropriate, for seven common conditions without the potential delay of having to wait for a GP appointment? Accessing the service may help children feel better and back to school as quickly as possible, as well as supporting parents/carers to also get better if they are unwell with one of the conditions covered under the service.
There is no need to make an appointment; parents or carers can pop into their local Boots pharmacy with their child and ask for help under the service.
Support for the following conditions can be accessed under the service, free of charge (unless NHS prescription charges apply)
The person will see a pharmacist in a private consultation room. The pharmacist will provide advice and, if clinically appropriate, offer to supply treatment for the condition. If treatment is provided, an electronic message will be sent to the person’s GP surgery so their health record can be updated.
Should the pharmacist be unable to help, they will direct the person to their GP surgery or other healthcare professional, as appropriate.
fpta monies raised
Our amazing FPTA have finally counted all the money from our pre-Christmas events and we have raised a total of £1,207.52 broken down as follows:
- • Christmas Fair: £924.64
- • Cauliflower Christmas card project: £143.00
- • Home Alone movie night: £139.88
Thank you so much to all who volunteered their time to make it happen and to those parents who supported the events.
Contacting School
Further to my letter last week, just a reminder that Dojo is not the correct way to contact the office with urgent messages.
Please phone or use email for the really short notice stuff! Thank you!
contact details update
Christmas is a popular time for new phones so please make sure that we have the most current up to date number for you.
If you have moved house or your children spend some of the week with a separated parent, please remember we need both addresses for our files. We do, of course, keep all information secure and confidential.
