EVIDENCE FOR LEARNING FAMILY APP

- WHOLE SCHOOL ROLL OUT -

July 2023

Dear Parent / Carer

The whole school roll out for The Evidence for Learning Families App is ready to go! It would be fantastic to get as many parents onto the app as possible so you can see your child’s termly targets and learning journeys on the app!

For the initial roll out process, there are three options available for you to choose from to get you up and running on the app:

Option 1 - A virtual meeting will be held on Monday 17th July at 6.30pm. 

Option 2 - A face to face meeting will be held on Tuesday 18th July at 10am-10.45am at Meadow High School. 

Option 3 - A how to step by step booklet will be available for parents to use to log themselves into the App for the first time. 

Please could you return the reply slip below to indicate the option that would suit you and return to me by Friday 14th July.

Thank you.

VACCINATIONS OVER THE SUMMER HOLIDAYS

Dear Parents,

We all want to keep our young people safe and protected from serious illness. This is why we are asking you to support a focus on encouraging parents in North West London to ensure that their child is up to date on their routine immunisation course. The summer holidays are a good opportunity to catch up on any outstanding vaccinations before children return to school and start mixing again.
 
Vaccination rates have been falling in London, which was further exacerbated during the pandemic. We need to maintain a high level of vaccine uptake across the population to reduce the risk of outbreaks and the potentially serious impacts on children’s health. Since February we have seen an increase in the number of cases of measles across North West London which may develop into life-threatening illnesses such as meningitis and pneumonia.
 
Booking a vaccine over the summer

Any young person in London who is not up to date with their routine childhood or teenage vaccinations can book one over the summer holidays.

Where do I get my child’s vaccine?

Your child can get their routine vaccinations at their GP surgery or via your local
school age team. They deliver the teenage vaccination programme of HPV from
year 8. Meningococcal ACWY (MenACWY) vaccine and the 3-in-1 teenage booster
vaccine which boosts protection against tetanus, diphtheria and polio. These are
both offered to young people aged 13 or in year 9. If they have been missed, they
can be caught up at any age.

The NHS has also been contacting the parents of children who are not fully
vaccinated to book an appointment at their GP practice or to access them at
specialist community clinics in your local area. These will continue over the summer.

For residents of:
Brent, Ealing, Hillingdon, Hammersmith & Fulham, Kensington and Chelsea,
Westminster please use this link to book any outstanding teenage vaccines:
