Be a FLU fighter!
Fri 28 Jun 2019Be a Flu Fighter!
Over 1000 children were hospitalised
with flu last season, just under half
required admission to intensive care
Dear Parent/Guardian of children from reception up to and including year 6.
Please visit the link or scan the QR code below to consent for your child (one for each child) to receive their flu vaccine in the autumn term 2019. This consent must be completed by 27th September to ensure we can vaccinate your child when we are in school. Please note the consent form has been improved and simplified.
You will be asked to enter a secure school code:
School Name: Kingsley Primary School Code: 111601
(Code to scan is below)
www.hdft.nhs.uk/electronic-consent
This vaccination programme is in place to help protect your child against flu. Flu can be a very serious illness and sometimes causes major health complications particularly in children and the elderly. Vaccinating your child will also help protect more vulnerable friends and family by preventing the spread of flu. Please ensure you read and understand all the information at the above link before you complete the consent form.
The vaccination is free and recommended for young children and is given via a quick and simple spray up the nose.
If you have any questions or do not have internet access to complete the form please do not hesitate to contact us on: 03000 032544
Yours sincerely,
Karen Guest-Humphries
Clinical Lead, Childhood Immunisation Team for Durham, Darlington and Teesside

Letter from Ofsted
Mon 07 Jan 2019Dear parent or carer,
Inspection of Kingsley Primary School by Ofsted
We have just told your child's school that we will inspect it on 08 January 2019. The lead inspector will be Ann Muxworthy. We are writing to you because we would like to know what you think about the school. Please take a few minutes to read the leaflet which came with this letter. It explains why we inspect schools, and what happens during an inspection.
Your views about the school are important to us
If you are a registered parent or carer of a pupil at the school (including pupils on sick leave or who are temporarily excluded), you can tell us your views about the school by completing Ofsted's online survey, Parent View, at: www.parentview.ofsted.gov.uk.
Parent View asks for your opinion on 12 aspects of your child's school, including the progress made by your child, the quality of teaching, how the school deals with bullying and poor behaviour. It also provides a free-text box for you to make additional comments, if you wish. The inspectors will use the online survey responses when inspecting your child's school. Written comments can also be sent to the school in a sealed envelope, marked confidential and addressed to the inspection team.
To register your views, you will need to provide your email address, which will be held securely. It will not be used for any purpose other than providing access to the online survey. Neither schools nor Ofsted will have access to any email addresses.
Please complete the online survey by 11am on 08 January 2019 as this will give the inspection team more time to consider your views. However, we will consider all online responses that are completed during the inspection, although the free-text box facility will not be available after noon on 09 Jan 2019.
Speaking to an inspector
If you are unable to complete the online survey, it may be possible to speak to an inspector during the inspection, for instance at the start of the school day, or to pass on messages to the inspectors if you are unable to speak to them in person. Inspection administrators will be happy to make the necessary arrangements. If concerns are raised about child protection, we may have to pass the information we receive to social services or the police. You can contact the administrators on 03000131678. Inspectors will be pleased to receive your comments, but cannot deal with complaints about individual pupils or settle disputes between you and the school.
Privacy notice
During the inspection of your child's school, the inspectors will collect information about children at the school by looking at school records, reviewing responses to the pupil survey where appropriate, and observing the everyday life of the school. No names will be recorded but some of the information may make it possible to identify a particular child. Ofsted uses this information to prepare its report and for the purposes set out in its privacy policy. Ofsted will not publish any information that identifies a child in the report.
More information is available in Ofsted privacy notice: www.gov.uk/government/publications/ofsted-privacy-notices/schools-ofsted-privacy-notice#parent-school.
