Immunisations - Year 9

The Immunisation Team will be in school on Thursday 1 October to offer all Year 9 pupils the first dose of the Human Papilloma (HPV) vaccine.

The second dose will be offered Spring 2021. Consent forms and information packs have been sent home with pupils. Please complete and return to the medical centre. Even if your child is not going to receive the vaccine please annotate on the form and return so that our records can be updated. The clinic has been risk assessed in line with COVID-19 guidelines and pupils will be asked to wear a facemask during the clinic.

Dates for Year 8 HPV and Year 9 Diptheria/Tetanus/Polio boosters are in the diary for next Lent/Trinity term and details will follow nearer the time.

Year 7 pupils are going to be offered the annual flu vaccine in school as part of an updated national schedule this year, further details, dates and consent forms to follow.

If you have any questions regarding the vaccinations please contact pcmatrons@princethorpe.co.uk

Confirmation Programme 2021 Update - Reminder

We have made changes to the Confirmation Programme so that pupils will now be prepared in their year group bubble.

We will not be able to celebrate Mass on Tuesday 13 October but the preparation sessions will go ahead as planned.

The Bishop has changed the provisional date for the celebration of the Sacrament of Confirmation to Friday 12 March 2021 at 7.00pm in the College Chapel.

The preparation sessions take place over lunch breaks.

Picking Up From Prep

Please could you ensure that you text your son or daughter when you arrive to pick them up from Prep.  Pupils will not be permitted to leave Prep until they have this written confirmation as the message will need to be shown to a member of staff before they leave.
