Early Years NCMP - 13/01/2025-16/01/2025
Dear Parent/Carers of children in Reception
Please see the attached letter from the NHS regarding coming in to school to carry out the National Child Measuring Programme which is carried out yearly in all schools by trained NHS staff. It is important that you read the attached letter & leaflets carefully.
Once you have read all the attached information and wish your child to take part you do not need to do anything else, but if wish to "opt your child out" of this programme then you should follow the instructions below and in the attached letter from the NHS. Once a date has been given to us for programme to take place in school we will let parents/carers know and will also be on the school website. Please click on the link below to watch a short film on the screening programme to familiarise yourself with the process.
Opting your child out
• If you do not wish us to screen your child’s vision and/ or hearing, please “opt” your child out by contacting us via email or phone on the details above at the top of the attached letter by 21st November 2024.
• If you do not want your child to take part in the National Child Measurement Programme, please contact us via email or phone on the details above at the top of this letter by 21st November 2024.
You will need to give the NHS your child’s name, address, date of birth and school they attend.
Kind regards 5-19 Healthy Child Programme Team
