Dear Parents and Care Givers

A Request / Information from our School Matron:

Please remind children to take their hay fever medication before school.

In this very warm weather, we also encourage children to bring a water bottle in

with them, which can be re-filled in school.

The School Nurse service has asked us to remind parents that every child is entitled

to a FREE eye test. If you have any concerns about your child and their vision, or if

they are suffering from persistent headaches, please telephone your local optician

to make an appointment.

Mrs A Kehoe, Matron
