Dear Parents and Carers,
We have had a wonderful week sharing our learning with you at our Inspire Afternoons. It was fantastic to see so many parents, carers and grandparents coming along to support their children and work together to produce some beautiful pieces of work linked with our learning.
We look forward to hosting more inspire sessions next week.
Enjoy a restful weekend with friends and family.
Take care,
Mrs Winter
Headteacher

Once booked you will receive an email with the link for the appointment. You can also use this to amend any bookings.
Please note - the names to enter will need to be exactly the same as the names we hold on the system therefore if 'Jessica' doesn't work 'Jess' will, this also applies to the parent name.

NHS Pharmacy First Service
Did you know that the NHS Pharmacy First Service enables children and adults to get convenient access to healthcare advice and treatment where appropriate, for seven common conditions without the potential delay of having to wait for a GP appointment? Accessing the service may mean that can help children feel better and back to school as quickly as possible, as well as supporting parents/carers to also get better if they are unwell with one of the conditions covered under the service.
There is no need to make an appointment; parents or carers can pop into their local Boots pharmacy with their child and ask for help under the service.
Support for the following conditions can be accessed under the service, free of charge (unless NHS prescription charges apply):
- Earache (aged 1 to 17 years)
- Impetigo (aged 1 year and over)
- Infected insect bites and stings (aged 1 year and over)
- Sore throats (aged 5 years and over)
- Sinusitis (aged 12 years and over)
- Uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs) in women (aged 16 to 64 years)
- Shingles (aged 18 years and over)

Headteacher Award for Theo W, Rosemary, Mila and Olivia C
The focus for each Headteacher Award throughout the year will be our new school values! The school values are an integral part of what we stand for at Carleton Park and are values that we believe will ensure our children are successful in not just their educational journey but life in general.
Kindness Award for Theo M and Jex
The Kindness certificates are awarded to children who have shown kindness and a caring attitude throughout the week. Children are chosen by the Student Council. Well done!
