Flu spray

Why get your child the nasal spray flu vaccine?

Flu is a common infection in babies and children. Children under the age of 5 have one of the highest hospital admission rates for flu compared to other age groups. Flu can be a very unpleasant illness in children, causing fever, extreme tiredness, aching muscles and joints, stuffy nose, dry cough and sore throat. Children usually begin to feel better within about a week.

Complications of flu include acute bronchitis, painful ear infections and pneumonia. Some children may need to go to hospital for treatment, including intensive care.

Annual vaccination of children helps provide protection to each child and reduces the spread of flu to their families and the wider community, protecting others who are at increased risk of becoming seriously ill from flu. The flu vaccine also promotes a healthy working environment in nurseries and childcare settings by reducing the risk of flu being spread to others including staff.

Here are five reasons for getting your child vaccinated against flu:

  1. Protect your child. The vaccine will help protect your child against flu and serious complications such as bronchitis and pneumonia
  2. Protect you, your family and friends. Vaccinating your child will help protect more vulnerable friends and family
  3. No injection needed. The nasal spray is painless and easy to have
  4. It’s better than having flu. The nasal spray helps protect against flu, has been given to millions of children worldwide and has an excellent safety record
  5. Avoid costs. If your child gets flu, you may have to take time off work or arrange alternative childcare

Side effects of the nasal vaccine may commonly include a runny or blocked nose, headache, tiredness and some loss of appetite.  Serious side effects are uncommon.

When, where, how?

The flu vaccine is free this autumn/winter to all children aged 2 or 3 years old on 31 August 2026 (born between 1 September 2022 and 31 August 2024), and is available now from GPs, and, from 1st October, some community pharmacies.

It’s a nasal spray which is painless and easy to have, and there is a non-porcine option for those who need it.

Pick up and drop off times

We would like to remind all parents and carers to park and drive considerately during school drop-off and collection times.

We have recently received concerns from local residents regarding vehicles entering and using a private driveway on Maxfield Crescent for turning, waiting, or parking. We respectfully ask all families to avoid entering any private driveways, parking spaces, or residential land when bringing children to and from school.

We appreciate that the location of our school is not always ideal in terms of accessibility and that parking can be challenging at busy times of the day. However, we ask all members of our school community to be mindful of our neighbours and to avoid causing disruption or inconvenience to local residents.

Where possible, families may wish to consider alternative arrangements such as parking a little further away and walking the remainder of the journey to school, car sharing with other families, or encouraging older pupils to cycle or scoot to school where it is safe and appropriate to do so. These options can help to reduce congestion around the school and contribute to a safer environment for everyone.

We have also sought advice from our local Community Police Team regarding this matter and will continue to work with residents and local partners to promote safe and considerate parking practices.

Thank you for your support and cooperation in helping us maintain positive relationships with our neighbours.

Photographs and Videos Online

 

Dear Parents and Carers,

As part of our ongoing commitment to safeguarding and protecting all children, we are making some changes to the way we share photographs and videos of school life.

You will have seen our new poster, “We’ve Changed the Angle, Not the Story”, which explains how we will continue to celebrate the wonderful learning, achievements and experiences that take place every day at school and nursery, while being mindful of evolving safeguarding guidance and best practice.

Please be reassured that we remain committed to sharing the fantastic things that happen across our school. We know how much families enjoy seeing the exciting activities, achievements and special moments that children experience throughout the year.

To help us achieve this, we will be making a gradual transition in the way photographs and videos are shared. Over time, images and videos posted on our Facebook page will be reduced and eventually moved to a more secure platform designed specifically for school-home communication.

We are currently investigating the use of ClassDojo as a secure platform where parents and carers will potentially be able to access photos, videos and updates in a safer, more controlled environment. At this stage, no final decision has been made, and we will keep you fully informed as our plans develop.

During this transition period:

  • We will continue to use Facebook for important messages, reminders, news and celebrations.
  • Photographs and videos may still appear on Facebook while we gradually implement the new arrangements.
  • Future images will increasingly focus on activities such as hands-on learning, children’s work, side-profile photographs (where permission has been given), and images showing the backs of children’s heads rather than direct facial photographs.
  • We will continue to celebrate and showcase the rich experiences our children enjoy every day.

We would also like to take this opportunity to remind all parents and carers to ensure that the school has the most up-to-date information regarding consent for photographs, videos and the use of their child’s image. If your preferences have changed since completing your child’s admission paperwork, or if there has been any change in circumstances, please contact the school office so that our records can be updated. Maintaining accurate consent records helps us to respect the wishes of every family and ensures that we can continue to meet our safeguarding responsibilities effectively.

This approach allows us to balance celebrating school life with our responsibility to keep children safe in an increasingly digital world.

We appreciate your support and understanding as we make these changes. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the school office.
