Reception Screening

Each year in England, school children in Reception have their height and weight checked at school as part of the National Child Measurement Programme. If you do not wish for your child to be seen as part of the National Child Measurement Programme, please complete the E-Form and opt out of the screening. To find out more about the programme and how the data will be used, please visit this website.

The School Nursing team will do this during term-time and weigh and measure children fully clothed, except for their coats and shoes, in a private space away from other pupils. Part of this assessment includes a review of their growth, vision and, if required, a hearing test. E-consent is quick and easy and can be completed on any device i.e., mobile phone, tablet, or computer. There will be two options:

Yes: Your child will be seen in school for height and weight screening. The results will be sent to you via the contact details on Cinnamon portal. This email can sometimes be sent to your junk folder, so please check.

No: Your child will be withdrawn from all screening.

If there is no reply, your child will be seen for screening of height and weight as part of the National Child Measurement Programme but requests for results will then have to be made on the advice line on 01883 340922
