Measles Vaccine Reminder

There is an increasing number of people with measles in Birmingham. Most of these are young children who have not had their MMR (measles) vaccine.

Measles is a highly infectious disease, which can be very serious. Two doses of the MMR vaccine is the best protection against measles. Over 80% of Birmingham children and adults have had the MMR vaccine. We need everyone protected.

The MMR vaccine is safe for every faith. There is a type of MMR vaccine that does not contain pork gelatine, so it can be used for people who do not touch any pork products. This vaccine is available at every GP practice, and it is free....

Nasal Flu Vaccination

The Immunisation Team from Birmingham Community Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust will be visiting our school on Wednesday 29th November 2023 to administer the nasal flu vaccination. You will have received a consent form a few weeks ago that you were asked to complete and return to school before Friday 10th November 2023. The Immunisation Team collected the consent forms from school last week and have all the information they need to be able to follow the programme. If you have not given your consent for your child to receive the nasal flu vaccination, then it will not be given to them. School staff will be overseeing the administration of the immunisation programme and the children will be supported by familiar adults during the process.

The Immunisation Team have been asked to follow the school risk assessment and will be wearing PPE to administer the nasal flu vaccine to the children.

If you would like to talk to the Immunisation Team directly about your child’s nasal flu vaccination, you can do so by calling them on 0121 245 5763. Alternatively, you are welcome to speak to a member of school SLT if you have any questions.

Free School Meal

As you will be aware, Highfield are now offering a free school meal for every child in school (Reception – Year 6) for this academic year. We understand that although this is amazing for the wellbeing of our children, there are still some children who would still rather bring a packed lunch. Please confirm your meal preference for the rest of this term, by returning the slip below to your child’s class teacher.

A reminder that you can only change your meal preference each half term. If you wish to do so, please ensure that you do this with the office.
