Healthy Start Voucher Scheme – Support for Vulnerable Families
Background
Healthy Start Voucher Scheme
This is an NHS initiative which offers support to some of our most vulnerable families.
This is a scheme for pregnant women or parents who have a child under 4 years old.
The vouchers can be used to buy milk, fresh or frozen fruit and veg and formula milk.
The Voucher Scheme has been around for some time but unfortunately take up has dropped off recently.

We will be supporting anti-bullying week all week and today we kicked it off by wearing odd socks and showing how we are all unique and special. Everyone has made a fantastic effort – well done to you all. Check out some of our odd socks to support anti bullying week.
This week your child will be learning about what bullying looks like, and how to get help if they think it is happening to them. We will also be talking in Year 2 about being a ‘bystander’ and what to do if we think someone else is being bullied. In school we talk about the difference between falling out with your friends once or twice and actual bullying which we define as ‘Several times on purpose’. We will not accept bullying in our school community. Please click below for further advice on bullying, and to promote discussion with your child.

Here are the sounds we are learning in reception this week: l, k, r, u
Please remember that when we introduce a new unit we will build the new sounds into what we have already introduced. Sounds already introduced: a, t, i, s, o, p, n, b, c, g, h, d, f, v, e
Please note that am and 30 hour nursery is closed today due to a lack of hot water.
A decision will be made at 8:30 with regards to the whole school.
We apologies for any inconvenience caused.
Today, Remembrance Day children shared a 2 minutes silence to remember the service and sacrifice of the Armed Forces community from Britain and the Commonwealth. We will remember them.
We will be supporting and celebrating Anti-Bullying Week from Monday 16th November all week. We would ask that all children come to school in odd socks. “Odd Sock Monday” is an official day endorsed by Andy and the Band of Cbeebies. See the link below for more information:
Wearing odd socks is a way of showing we are all different, unique and special. Your child will be taking part in age-appropriate activities all week during their PSHE sessions. We would ask if you could donate up to £1 and this money will go towards the Anti Bullying Alliance charity. Last year over 5 million children took part, and this year we hope to beat this. So dig out those odd socks and let’s take part and learn together!
