  • Covid-19 vaccinations for clinically-vulnerable five to 11-year-olds.

    Wed 23 Feb 2022 ND

    Re: Covid-19 vaccinations for clinically-vulnerable five to 11-year-olds.

     

    The NHS in Kent and Medway is now offering the Covid-19 vaccine to eligible children aged five to 11-years-old who:

     

    • are at higher risk from coronavirus due to underlying health conditions or
    • share living accommodation, on most days, with someone who has a weakened immune system

     

    You can find more information about this here:

    COVID-19 vaccinations: A guide for parents of children aged 5-11 at high risk.

     

    If they have an eligible child, parents will be invited to bring them to have the vaccine by their GP practice, a local vaccination service linked to their GP practice, or the NHS School-Aged Immunisation Service (SAIS).

     

    Parents can either book an appointment directly with their GP, or use this link to book in with any provider: https://lvs.healthit.org.uk/patheks. Eligibility will be checked at the venue.

     

    Please can you forward this email to all your parents so they can book an appointment if their child is eligible.

     

    Thank you for your support

    Kind regards

  • Snow Update

    Fri 12 Feb 2021 ND

    Good morning!

     

    Whilst some of the snow has cleared, we are now concerned that many of the routes into school are very icy. We are still running school with few staff so the same advice applies in that we would be grateful if you would keep children at home where you can. If you need to send them in, please could we ask once again that they bring spare clothes and dress warmly.

     

    Please also be very careful on the pavements as you make your way in. Thank you for your patience this week.
