16.12.20 Height and weight checks for children in Reception and Year 6
Please read the following letter (below extract).
Extracts below.
“Each year in England, school children in Reception and Year 6 have their height and weight checked at school as part of the National Child Measurement Programme. Height and weight measurements are used to calculate weight status. Your child’s class will take part in this year’s programme…
…If you are happy for your child to be measured, you do not need to do anything.
If you do not want your child’s height and weight to be checked, or your child has a medical condition that affects their height or weight please let us know by contacting the school nursing team on 0191 2832947.
Children will not be made to take part on the day if they do not want to.”
