Kettering Park Infant Academy

Please see letter attached.

Good morning, As you are aware individual school photographs are taking place on Thursday 15th October. Due to the current situation and the government guidelines we will be unable to take any sibling photographs due to breaking their school bubbles. With this in mind we will also be unable to accommodate any preschool and junior children as we have done in previous years. Thank you for your understanding.

Good morning, We have had the following message from the school nursing team regarding letters that have been sent to parents with a barcode on. ****************************************************** Morning It has come to our attention that Public Health England are sending out letters to parents around the fluenz immunisation which is causing some confusion for parents and schools. These letters have a bar code on them and tells the parent to bring to the immunisation session – this is only for if they are having the immunisation at a GP surgery. For all children having the fluenz in school they DO NOT need to provide the letter just complete the online consent form from the link in the letter you were sent by the immunisation team. Thanks. School Nursing Team ******************************************************************

Please see the attached poster regarding Wear Yellow Day for Young Minds.
