It has been another busy week at at Carleton Park.
A group of children from Years 1 and 2 were invited to take part in a multi skills festival as part of the PAT Games. The children gave it their all and had a wonderful time. I was most proud of the 19 ‘Spirit of the Games’ stickers that were awarded to our children throughout the festival. These stickers are given to children who show determination, teamwork, resilience and good sportsmanship. A huge well done to all children involved that represented our school so wonderfully.
Thank you to all the grown ups who have taken the time to meet with teachers to discuss your child and their learning journeys. We are looking forward to meeting more of you next week. If you have not yet made an appointment, please do so.
Have a great weekend with your families.
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)
