Dear Parents and Carers,
As we reach the end of this half-term, I want to take a moment to celebrate the hard work, dedication, and enthusiasm our pupils have shown. It has been an inspiring six weeks, and we are incredibly proud of the progress each child has made - whether it be in the classroom or in their personal development.
Our pupils' commitment to their work and their positive attitudes towards new learning have been truly amazing. We look forward to seeing them continue to shine as they take on new opportunities in the coming half-term.
Thank you for your continued support.
Wishing you all a restful and enjoyable break!
Take care,
Mrs Winter
Headteacher
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's Award for Izobell, Theo M and Kody
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 Emily N and Mary
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!
