During your child’s reception year in school, the school health service offers a screening of height/weight/hearing/vision. We had planned to visit your child’s school in January 2021.
However, due to Covid-19 and the national restrictions, screenings have been paused and we are currently unable to complete this programme.
We will resume this screening as soon as possible, when we are able to access schools. In the meantime, if you have any concerns regarding your child’s height, weight, hearing or vision, you can contact your school nurse team on: 01704 385 125 nwbh.hampton0-19@nhs.net secure email account.
We have provided some guidance on signs and symptoms which can help you identify whether your child does require a referral now, rather than wait for the screening programme to recommence.

We would also like to sign- post you towards the National Deaf Children’s Society website (NDCS), which has a wealth of useful information.
Yours Sincerely,
