School Health Nursing Service
Dear Parent/Carer
The School Health Nursing Service will be visiting school on Tuesday 13th June, following their September visit when your child started Reception. Please find attached the opt-out form for the Vision Screening and the national Child Measurement Programme.
Vision screening:
The aim of vision screening is to help identify a child with a possible vision problem and refer them to the specialist services for further tests if necessary.
Weighing and Measuring (National Child Measurement Programme):
The aim of the National Child Measurement Programme is to develop a better understanding of children’s height and weight by collecting information from across the country. Children are weighed and measured fully clothed (except for shoes) and all information is treated confidentially.
