Dear Parent / Carer

Please look in your child’s communication diary for a letter which has been stuck in asking for your consent for your child to take part in RSE lessons.

Please go to the RSE page on the school website (learning/subjects/RSE) to see the outline of what your child will be taught.

Once you have read the information including the policy please tick and sign the letter in your child’s communication book.

Kind regards

In many schools children in Reception Year (aged 4-5 years) will have their vision checked through Child Vision Screening. However, Covid-19 has caused major interruptions in education and child health services. This has meant
that the vision screening services have been delayed, postponed or cancelled for some of the children who started Reception Year in 2019/2020.

Children often cope very well with some eye problems which need to be identified and treated early to avoid lifelong visual loss. For this reason, it is important that even children with apparently normal vision should be tested. The screening assessment ensures that your child has good vision in both eyes, and that their vision is developing
normally. It is performed at this age so that any reduced vision or difference in vision between each eye can be picked up before the visual system is fully developed and any treatment necessary can be started.
