Year 4 class trip

17 Oct 2025

Dear Parents and Carers,

A reminder that our trip to the Corinium Museum will take place on Thursday of the first week back after the half term break. Thank you so much to the parents who offered to give their time to support us on the trip - this is very much appreciated as we would not be able to run the trip without your help.

When booking meals, please remember that all children will require a packed lunch from home this day, as explained in the letter. If your child suffers from travel sickness, please consider giving them travel sickness medication before school that day as we will be travelling by coach.

If you have not made payment for the trip yet, please do so via ParentPay. If we do not get enough payments, the trip will be cancelled.

Kind regards,

Mrs Mead and Miss Glover

Flu Vaccination

03 Sep 2025

Dear Parent/Guardian,
Your child’s flu vaccination is now due.
This vaccination is recommended to help protect your child against flu. Flu can be an unpleasant illness and can cause serious complications. Vaccinating your child will also help protect more vulnerable family and friends by preventing the spread of flu.
Please complete the consent form (yes or no) using the following link:
www.bswschoolagedimms.co.uk/Forms/Flu
Please use the school code: WT135797
Please ensure you complete your child’s consent no later than 48 working hours before your school session to ensure your child receives their vaccination.
We are visiting your child’s school Oakhurst Community Primary School on 25 September 2025
Most children are offered a nasal spray vaccine which is a quick, simple and painless spray up the nose.
The nasal spray vaccine is the preferred vaccine.
A leaflet explaining the vaccination programme for primary aged children can be accessed at:
https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/66730c5864e554df3bd0db99/UKHSA_12922_Protecting_your_child_against_flu_leaflet_03_WEB.pdf
A leaflet explaining the vaccination programme for secondary aged young people can be accessed at:
https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/64a2e2e245b6a2000c3d47de/UKHSA-12388-protect-yourself-against-flu_information-for-those-in-secondary-school.pdf
This includes details about the small number of children for whom the nasal vaccine is not appropriate. The nasal spray vaccine contains a very small amount of gelatine from pigs (porcine gelatine) as an essential ingredient to keep it stable and able to work. For those who may not accept medicines or vaccines that contain porcine gelatine, a porcine-free flu vaccine injection is available as an alternative. Consent can be provided using the link above.
Secondary School Age Children: Where consent is given for the flu injection, this will be given to your child when the team visit their school.
Primary School Aged Children requiring injectable flu: Once you have completed the consent form for the flu injection, the Immunisation Team will send you a link to book your child into one of our Community Clinics you will then be directed to book a clinic appointment.
Even if your child had the vaccine last year, the type of flu can vary each winter, so it is recommended to have it again this year or they won’t be protected.
Since the programme was introduced, most children offered the vaccine in schools have had the immunisation.
If you have any queries, please contact the School Aged Immunisation Team on 0300 247 0082 or email us using vcl.immunisations@nhs.net
Yours sincerely,
Roanna Ellis
Professional Lead for School Aged Immunisation, B&NES, Swindon and Wiltshire, and B&NES School Aged Health
If your child becomes wheezy, has a bad attack of asthma, or has started oral steroids for their asthma after you return this form, please contact the School Aged Immunisation Team on 0300 247 0082.
If you decide you do not want to vaccinate your child against flu, please complete the consent form giving the reason. This will help us plan and improve the service.

Windsor Castle Visit

05 Jun 2025

Windsor Castle visit - the children have been briefed on the following details. All children must wear school uniform (not leaver hoodies) with either shoes or trainers. They will need a packed lunch and a drink as the school kitchens will not be open to provide any at the time we are leaving. Looking at the weather forecast, it is likely that children will need a coat that will keep them dry. Arrive at school at 8:20am for an 8:30am departure. All being well, well will be back at 4pm and will give updates nearer the time.

Junior Good Citizen

03 Jun 2025

Tuesday 3rd June 2025

Dear Parents,

Year 6 are going to take part in the annual Junior Good Citizen scheme in the Punjabi Community Centre in Gorse Hill, Swindon on Thursday 5th June. As the event is being fully funded by the school, there will be no parental contribution required towards the cost of the coach. This has been achieved through a very kind donation from the PFA.

The Junior Good Citizen scheme is run every year in Swindon. It gives children a wonderful, hands-on opportunity to participate in a range of activities to develop their citizenship skills. There will be a round-robin of events and scenarios that all children will complete during the afternoon organised by a range of agencies. Although we don’t know what the individual events will be until we get there, in the past the activities have included:

Personal Safety – Wiltshire Police
Dog Safety – SBC & Blue Cross animal rescue
Internet Safety – Swindon LSCB/SBC
Road Safety – SBC
Fire Safety – Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue
Railway Safety – British Transport Police
Weapons awareness – Youth Offending Team & CSP
Enviro Crime – SBC

We will be leaving from school at 8:30am and taken to the venue in Gorse Hill. The children will need to arrive in school for 8:20 at the latest so that we can register everyone before leaving. Once the morning of activities are completed, we will be dropped back ready for our normal lunchtime, so it should not cause any disruption to school lunches.

If you have any questions about this visit, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Many thanks,

Mr Mead and Miss Teague
