When children come to school on Thursday 13th October we would love it if they could wear clothes that either represent their own culture.
Emails were sent out yesterday to parents of children in Nursery, Reception, Years 1 – 6 for you to sign up to a slot on parents evening which is taking place on Tuesday 18th October. Please check your email and sign up, if you can’t find the link in your emails please speak to the class teacher as you will be able to sign up on their iPad when you collect your child. We look forward to sharing learning with you soon.
Children in classes from Reception to Year 6 have come home with a letter today from the Hackney School Immunisation team. They will soon be visiting school to offer the free flu vaccine to all eligible children from Reception to year 6. The nasal flu vaccine is painless, quick, and side effects are uncommon and
generally mild. Please note this is not the Covid vaccination.
This winter, now that life is back to normal, there is a very high risk that the NHS could be overwhelmed with illness caused by influenza, as we have not been mixing with others as much over the past few winters. Children who have the flu vaccine are less likely to pass the virus on to friends and family, especially
those who may be at greater risk from flu, such as young babies, elderly people or friends and relatives with a serious health condition.
Please complete consent for your child online. using this link https://london.schoolvaccination.uk/flu/2022/cityandhackney to give consent, or to decline consent.
