• Emazdad - Road Safety Show

  Tue 09 Nov 2021 Helen

  STOP, LOOK, and LISTEN!

  On Friday, the children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 had a fantastic time learning about road safety.
  They were visited by Emazdad and his very silly friend Ned the Fuzzle, who presented The Stop, Look and Listen Road Safety Show.

  The show was funny and interactive with lots of opportunity to answer questions and join in. The children had fun, while learning about the dangers of the roads, and how to cross roads safely.

  They also learned a little song to remind them to Stop, Look, and Listen!

  I am sure they would sing it to you if you asked.

  

• Nasal Flu Immunisations - 25th November 2021

  Tue 09 Nov 2021 SB

  Please see attached information from the Immunisation Team regarding nasal flu vaccinations, due to be carried out here in school on Thursday 25th November.  Consent needs to have been completed by 17th November 2021.

  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Dear Parents/guardians, 

    

  Your child is in Year R to Year 6 (or Year 7 to year 11 if your school accommodates) from September 2021 and is therefore eligible for a Free Nasal Childhood Flu Vaccination. The immunisation team will be visiting your child’s school on 25th November 2021.

   

  Flu vaccination is one of the most effective interventions we have to reduce pressure on the health and social care system, which is going to be more important than ever this year.  For this reason, it is essential we deliver the vaccine to as many children as possible to protect them and prevent the spread of infection to those most at risk in society. 

   

  Considering the above, we are expecting demand to be high and therefore we urge you to follow the below link to consent to your child’s vaccination asap. Even if you do not want your child to receive this vaccination, please complete the consent form stating “decline”.  On this link you will also find answers to your FAQ’s and links to the current Public Health England and manufacturers leaflets. We recommend you discuss this vaccination with your child prior to the date of vaccination. 

   

  Prior to completion of the consent, we would like each individual child’s unique NHS number – this can be found in their red book, or via this link:  

   

  Find your NHS number - NHS (www.nhs.uk) 

   

  Please note, this field is not mandatory so if you are experiencing problems finding/accessing your child’s NHS number then you can leave this blank. 

   

  To complete the consent/decline please click on the link below: 

   

  https://schoolimms.virgincare.co.uk/flu/2021/devon

   

   

  We will be operating a strict policy of closing the consent links and your school's link will close at midnight on the 17th November 2021. If you miss this deadline, your child(ren) will not be vaccinated at school and you will be offered the opportunity to book them into a community catch up clinic. This also applies if your child is absent or refuses the vaccination at school.  

   

  If you have any difficulties with completing the consent form, please contact the Immunisation Team on our Single Point of Access (SPA).

• Harvest Festival 2021

  Wed 03 Nov 2021 Richard

  Our school went down to the village church this October to celebrate harvest.

   

  We held two separate services - one involved children from Key Stage One and their parents and the other older children in Key Stage Two.

   

  Our school band played at both services and in addition to this we sang lots of Harvest songs and performed poetry.

   

  We welcomed over 100 parents which was brilliant.
