Do you have\u00a0a child\u00a0in reception class or year 6? Look out for the electronic\u00a0leaflet telling you all about it \u00a0from the School Nursing team via your child\\’s school.
\nReception children:
\nThe\u00a0leaflet will include information\u00a0\u00a0in order to check your child\\’s height, weight, vision and hearing.<\/p>\n
Your child does not have to take part but by doing so they are contributing to the national picture about how children are growing.
\nYear 6 children:
\nYour child will be weighed and measured in school as part of the National Child Measurement Programme which is a nationwide programme for Public Health England to collect data to see how our children are growing and developing. Advice on healthy eating and exercise can be found on the Change For Life Campaign https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/changeforlife
\nConcerned about the results?
\nYou can always contact your school nursing team with queries or advice on how to benefit your child\\’s health.<\/p>\n
To find a contact, use the \\’school nurses\\’ tab on the homepage and search for the relevant school.<\/p>\n
