The Flagpole

The Parent Toolkit webinar, entitled RSHE (Relationship and Sex and Health Education) - What we do at Princethorpe which was due to take place on Tuesday 15 February has unfortunately had to be postponed until after half-term. We will confirm the new date for this via the Flagpole as soon as possible and will add the details to the Parent Toolkit Section of My School Portal.

The next webinar, Managing Sleep, takes place on Wednesday 6 March at 6.30pm. The link to the webinar, along with the programme of all future webinars and links to access them, can be found on My School Portal here.

Please send any suggestions for future webinar topics that we have not already planned to cover to Mrs Beth Sharpe at (BethSharpe@Princethorpe.co.uk)

Message From Coventry And Warwickshire Immunisation Service:

We would like to confirm a list of vaccination sites that are offering vaccinations for 12-15 year-old children throughout half-term, and to signpost parents accordingly should they wish to access this. For any children that have not yet received their first dose, or it has been at least 12 weeks since their 1st dose, please click here for the pathways where they can receive the vaccination during half-term.

We would always encourage you to pre-book appointments before attending one of these sites, however there may be a number of which that are operating walk-in appointments. More information on which sites are accepting walk-ins, and when these are being run, can be found at the following link: https://www.nhs.uk/service-search/find-a-walk-in-coronavirus-covid-19-vaccination-site.

As a reminder, if your child has had a positive COVID-19 test, you need to wait before getting any dose of the vaccine. You need to: wait 12 weeks (84 days) if you're aged 12 to 17 years old, or wait 4 weeks (28 days) if you're aged 12 to 17 years old and at clinically considered to be at a high-risk from COVID-19.

The pathways are also applicable to any child that was not able to be vaccinated during the visit by our service to your school during this term, or to any child at a school yet to be visited.

Thank you for your support, and hope you have a good half-term.

Mrs Paula Greig
Senior Matron
