Letter to Whole School - Thread Worm
A case of thread worm was discovered today in school.
Check if it's threadworms
You can spot worms in your poo. They look like pieces of white thread.
You might also see them around your child's bottom (anus). The worms usually come out at night while your child is sleeping.
Other symptoms can include:
- extreme itching around the anus or vagina, particularly at night
- irritability and waking up during the night
Common signs of worms include:
- weight loss
- wetting the bed
- irritated skin around the anus
A pharmacist can help with threadworms
You can buy medicine (mebendazole) for threadworms from pharmacies. This is usually a chewable tablet or liquid you swallow.
Treat everyone in your household, even if they do not have symptoms.
Tell the pharmacist if you need to treat a child under 2, or if you're pregnant or breastfeeding. Treatment might not be suitable and you may need to speak to a GPPlease have a look at the NHS website for more information

Letter to Whole School - Scabies
Dear Parents and Careers,
A case of scabies was discovered today in school.
Check if it's scabies
The symptoms of scabies are:
- intense itching, especially at night
- a raised rash or spots
The spots may look red. They are more difficult to see on dark skin, but you should be able to feel them.
The scabies rash usually spreads across the whole body, apart from the head.

Letter to Whole School - Expression of Interest - Holiday club
9th November 2022
Dear Parents/Carers,
HOLIDAY CLUB
EXPRESSION OF INTEREST
Meadow High School are looking for expression of interest for a holiday club we hope to start running shortly.
The school aims to enable the pupils to maintain and further develop their functional ability. Activities will focus on:
- strength, stamina and mobility
- social, communication and play skills
- cognitive, perceptual and sensory functioning
We are exploring many possibilities, including having a specialist holiday club company come in to deliver sessions.
The holiday club would run on the following dates:
- Session 1: Monday 13th and Tuesday 14th February 2023 (Half term)
- Session 2: Monday 3rd - Thursday 6th April 2023 (Easter holidays)
Summer Holidays:
- Session 3: 1st week of summer holiday: 24th - 28th July 2023
- Session 4: 2nd week of summer holiday: 31st July - 4th August 2023
- Session 5: 3rd week of summer holiday: 7th - 11th August 2023
Each day will run from 9:00 am - 3:00pm. You can book for any sessions that interest you.
The cost for the Summer Camp this year will be £130 per week for each pupil, unless you are eligible for Free School Meals, then the cost will be £75.00 per week per child. We feel this offers excellent value for money as the hourly cost is under £4 an hour.
This fee covers the cost of all activities. A packed lunch will need to be provided from home, even where the child is eligible for Free School Meals.
Parents and Carers are responsible for transporting their child to and from the holiday club each day. However, we are exploring the possibility of providing transport to and from holiday club. If you think this is something that maybe of interest for you please tick below, an extra cost may incur.
Another avenue being explored, is the possibility of siblings being able to attend Meadow holiday club. Sibling would have to be a year 1 or above pupil.
If holiday club is something you would be interested in using, please complete and return the attached reply slip by Wednesday, 16 November 2022.
Yours sincerely,
Kathleen Bentley
Welfare Lead

We will be having a cake sale at breaktime, please do send in donations of cakes if you wish to. Pupils will also be able to purchase cakes at breaktime, so can bring in small amounts of change as well.

During the last period of the day, students will be invited to a whole school assembly where they will learn about Children in Need. Our Team Leaders, Mr Haines, Mr Rogers, Mrs Newman and Ms Carter will be taking part in a ‘I’m A Celebrity inspired, BushTucker Trial' where they will try to win for their Key Stage / Pathway!

Diwali Day
Friday 21st October 2022
Dear Parents/ Carers,
It is Diwali (the festival of lights) on Monday 24th October, the first day of half term. As a school, we would like to celebrate this Hindu festival on FRIDAY 21st OCTOBER.
During the school day, pupils will be taking part in Diwali themed enrichment activities; this will include a themed lunch, a daytime firework display and the option to get their mehndi done. Next week’s Religious Education lessons will focus on the story of Diwali.
If you have any concerns for your young person around the fireworks display, please inform their form tutor so that alternative provision can be made in line with the enrichment activities.
If you would like your young person to have a small design of traditional mehndi done on the hand, please complete the slip below and return to school by Wednesday 19th October. Please be mindful that if your young person has not used mehndi before, like with any product used on the skin, there is a small risk of a reaction.
If you have any further queries, feel free to contact me via your pupils’ home school link book.
Kind Regards,

Letter to Whole School - Hairdressing
7th October 2022
Dear Parent/Carer,
Within our 6th form we have a purpose built Hairdressing department. We would like to encourage all our students (all year groups) to visit our salon as part of our hairdressing student learning programme on Fridays from 9.50am to 12.45pm. This enables our hairdressing students to learn the process of booking appointments, interacting with other students, shampoo and blow-drying students’ hair as part of their learning.
I manage the Hairdressing salon at all times and am a fully qualified Hairdresser; therefore, I would like to offer haircuts for our students for a minimum of £5.00. All profits from this venture will go towards the cost of running the salon.
We also offer a Hairdressing club on a Thursday during lunchtime, the students come and get involved in the daily running of the salon and a nail painting service is offered at no cost.
If you are interested in your child taking part in any of the above experiences, please return the attached reply-slip
Payment only if your child is having their haircut, this can be paid when the appointment is made or after they have their haircut!
Yours faithfully

Letter to Whole School re Punctuality
11 October 2022
Dear Parents / Carers,
Re: Punctuality
We are writing to all families to emphasise the importance of being in school on time, as there have been numerous incidents of some families routinely arriving at school at 9.00am or later.
School starts at 9.00am every day. Children need to be in their class at 9.00am so that they can start their lessons promptly. Children who arrive late are greatly disadvantaged because they miss starting the day with their peers and the beginning of lessons. This means that they are often unsettled and confused about tasks. Their teacher will not always be able to re explain work.
It is also very important that children establish good routines and habits in preparation for the rest of their lives. Punctuality is a life skill that they need to develop whilst they are young.
It is essential that you ensure that your child arrives at school on time to prevent disruption to your child’s own learning and that of others.
We will continue to focus on this area with children through class work and school assemblies
We are required to monitor children’s punctuality and attendance. Ongoing lateness (after the class register has been taken) is classified as an unauthorised absence and this is contrary to The Education Act.
We understand that there may be rare occasions when you are unavoidably late due to unforeseen circumstances. On these occasions, please make sure that you contact the school attendance team to inform us when you will arrive attendance@meadowhighschool.org
High levels of unauthorised absences, or poor punctuality, can result in a referral to the Educational Welfare Service or other agencies, who have a duty to investigate further and could result in legal action being taken against you.
If you are experiencing difficulties with punctuality and would like to talk to us about it, please make an appointment to do so, or telephone the Educational Welfare Service.
Please keep in mind that Breakfast Club is available to children from 8.30am.
Yours Sincerely,
Kathleen Bentley
Welfare Lead
Letter to Whole School - UNICEF Rights Respected School
14th October 2022
Dear Parent / Carer,
We are becoming a Unicef UK Rights Respecting School!
Meadow High School aims to be a school where children’s rights are at the heart of our ethos and culture, to improve well-being and to develop every child’s talents and abilities to their full potential. As part of this plan we are working towards recognition as a ‘Rights Respecting School’, an award given to schools on behalf of Unicef UK.
Unicef is the world’s leading organisation working for children and young people and their rights. In 1989, governments across the world agreed that all children have the same rights by adopting the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). These rights are based on what a child needs to survive, grow, participate and fulfill their potential.
Meadow pupils will learn about their rights by putting them into practice every day. A Rights Respecting School models rights and respect in all its relationships.
We really hope that you will be able to support our school on our journey towards becoming a Unicef UK Rights Respecting School. It would be great if you could spend a few minutes reading through our questions & answers on the back of this letter, and also find a bit more about the Convention on the Rights of the Child by visiting unicef.org.uk/crc.
For further information about Rights Respecting Schools please visit: www.unicef.org.uk/rrsa
Yours sincerely,

Letter to Classes 11BA and 12 JS
Dear Parent /Carer,
On Wednesday 19th October 2022, 12JS and 10BA have been given the opportunity to attend a fishing experience organised by Middlesex Trout and Salmon Fishing Charity.
The charity has accommodated the school with this facility yearly and we are excited to give the students the chance to experience something different whilst bonding with their newly formed tutor group. This experience will take place at Halliford MereTrout Fishery, Chertsey Rd, Shepperton TW17 9NN.
Halliford Mere is a complex consisting of four spring-fed lakes totaling 15 acres of water. The fly-fishing trout lakes are highly stocked with top quality Rainbow trout ranging from 2-10lbs. The lakes are well established, supporting prolific natural aquatic life.
Middlesex Trout and Salmon Fishing Charity have a full Risk Assessment Policy in place, with an up-to-date Certificate of Employers Liability Insurance Policy. They maintain very strict Health and safety guidelines as well as issuing Health and Safety Instructions to all Teachers and careers who attend. The casters (students) also have to watch a Health and Safety Video before the commencement of each event.
For more information please see Website: http://www.hallifordmere.co.uk/default.asp
Students will need to dress appropriately for the weather conditions, casual but comfortable. If they own a pair of wellies we would suggest they bring them (if not a suitable pair of trainers).
Food will be provided for the students, however if students have dietary requirements we would advise they bring their own healthy packed lunch.
Students attending the trip will need to arrive at school at 9am sharp. They are to head straight to their designated tutor groups where they will be registered for attendance. Following this, we will be traveling by the school’s minibus to our destination where we expect to arrive between 10am-10.15am.
We will leave Halliford MereTrout Fishery at 2pm and arrive back before the end of the school day.
Yours sincerely,

LETTER TO WHOLE SCHOOL RE: CHILDHOOD FLU VACCINATION PROGRAMME
September 2022
To parents of children in Meadow High School
Dear Parent or Guardian
2022-23 Childhood Flu vaccination programme
Your child will be offered a flu vaccine that is given as a simple spray up the nose. It is painless, very quick, and serious side effects are uncommon. This vaccination programme is designed to protect your child against flu which can be an unpleasant illness and, although rarely, sometimes cause serious complications. By having the flu vaccination, children are also less likely to pass the virus on to friends and family. This will help to protect those who are at greater risk from flu including infants, older people, and those with an underlying health condition. The flu vaccine provides protection against the strains that are predicted to circulate in the coming season. These strains may change from year to year which is why we recommend vaccination every year.
We believe your child should be vaccinated and we are now inviting parents/guardians to register your consent for the above vaccination. The School Health Service are now using an electronic method of communication which is a faster, more efficient and a safer way to deliver your child's health information. We have developed a secure online link that parents/guardians can use to register consent for the vaccination. The process is quick and easy to use.
STEP 1: Please either register for an account if this is your first time using the Thomson parent portal or login if you have already created an account. If this is your first time registering you will receive an email to confirm your account and set a password. STEP 2: Once you login you can read the information on the Childhood Flu vaccination programme and indicate your consent.
Please click on the below link to access the eConsent
https://app.schoolscreener.com/Portal/#/CNWLLon/imms/cnwl12/102462
NOTE: To access the Thomson parent portal on your iPhone, please make sure you download the letter first onto your device, then follow the URL link provided. If accessing via laptop or desktop, please don’t use Internet Explorer, instead use other internet browser such as Chrome.
If you encounter any problems with the Parent Portal, contact Thomson help desk on the following number: 02039584181 or email parentsupport@schoolscreener.com
Please see the information below about consent – this is very important
1. It is vital that the consent form is completed as soon as possible. Do ensure that you have your child’s NHS number when completing the online form.
2. The consent form allows you to refuse this vaccine for your child. If you are thinking about this step, please talk to you GP or ask to speak to your child’s school nurse first. It is very important that you take this opportunity to protect your child against this very serious disease.
For more information about the eConsent Parent Portal, watch this 2-minute video: https://youtu.be/OUT-pAYOwF0
You should inform the nurses on the day of the vaccine if your child has been wheezy or there is any change in their asthma medication.
Contact the Immunisation team if you require any further assistance.
We look forward to receiving your child’s e-forms. Please remember to return the consent e-form even if you DO NOT consent for the vaccination for your child, explaining the reason for your decision. This will help us in the development of the flu vaccination programme in the future.
Yours faithfully,
We’re here for you

Letter to Year 7 re Football Trip
Monday 26th September 2022
Dear Parent/Carer
The Odeon Cinema group have kindly offered our school a private showing of the film ‘James and the Giant Peach.’ This will be taking place on Wednesday 5th October 2022 at 10am.
We will be leaving school soon after registration, at around 9:20am and will return to school in time for normal lunchtime arrangements. Students can bring one healthy snack with them – please do not provide fizzy drinks, sweets or chocolate.
In order to be able to run these trips, we do rely on financial support from parents and guardians. Therefore, we ask if you could make a voluntary contribution of £6.70 – this will cover travel to and from the cinema in a big coach and the private screening of the film.
Please could you pay this via Parent Pay.
If you have any questions then please get in touch.
Yours sincerely,

Letter to Class 11BA
Tuesday 20th September 2022
Dear Parents/ Carers,
PSHCE: Supervised Tooth Brushing
Class 10BA, along with other forms, are starting a new initiative with Hillingdon’s Community Dental Services’ to encourage students to brush their teeth once a day at school. This is in addition to brushing their teeth at home, in the morning and at night before bed.
This is because supervised tooth brushing at school has been shown to be effective at improving oral health for children.
Please complete the slip attached as soon as possible, and return to me.
If you require any further information, please contact myself, via email, BAnstee@MeadowHighSchool.Org or Sally McGregor (Oral Health Promoter) on 07393796064 / SallyMcGregor1@NHS.Net

Letter to Year 13 and 14 - MOVING ON
22nd September 2022
To all Parents/ Carers of students in Year 13 and 14,
I am currently arranging interviews with all Year 13 and 14 students in order to be able to start working on their ‘next steps’. I will be sending out a list of open days and Evenings at Local Colleges and Provisions, once I have had confirmation of dates. It is necessary to start exploring the options that are available to them in the future and also to start planning transition arrangements ready for ‘moving on’ next year to:
- College
- Training Provider
- Supported Internship
- Other
It would be beneficial if Parents/Carers were also able to meet with me, as your input is vital to ensure that the best conclusion for the students is obtained. I will attend final Annual reviews to ensure that the correct provision is named on the EHCP.
I am at the school all week 9am – 3.00pm, but not available on Monday until the afternoon. I can, however, make other arrangements should these times be unsuitable for you. Please could you contact me through the school on 01895 443310 ext. 244 to arrange appointments. I can also be contacted on my mobile 07841021772
e-mail: sstock@meadowhighschool.org
I looking forward to meeting you in the near future
