• Action for early years settings and schools: Measles vaccination uptake

  Action for early years settings and schools: measles vaccination uptake

  Measles can be very serious and spreads easily. Children and adults who contract measles can end up in hospital or suffer long term health consequences. In rare cases, it can be fatal.

  Measles is completely preventable with the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine. The first dose is offered to children at 1 year of age and the second dose at 3 years and 4 months. Measles outbreaks happen when not enough children have been vaccinated and can be very disruptive in educational settings.

  We are grateful for the support of early years settings, encouraging families to take up the vaccine.

  Schools are also encouraged to remind parents to check that their children’s vaccines are up to date. You can catch up on your MMR vaccine through your GP whatever your age.

  Information resources (including in different languages) are available to download and share, including:

• Fundraising

  Fri 15 Sep 2023

  Over the course of September, we will be holding 2 fundraising events to raise money for cancer charities that are close to the hearts of our school community.

   

  On 19^th September we will be holding a non-uniform day for the children, and asking for donations. This day would have been the birthday of one of our pupils, Saqib Ahmed, who we sadly lost to a cancerous brain tumour 2 years ago.

   

  We are also hoping to take part in the McMillan Coffee Morning on 29^th September, and would like to invite parents to this. Please send any donations of cake in to the school office by Thursday 28^th September. This will be in memory of a member of staff, Tracy Affleck, who lost her fight with cancer last term.

   

  All money raised from the 2 events will be split between 3 charities – Milly’s Smile, McMillan, and Springhill Hospice. Thank you in advance for your support with these events.
