Whitburn Church of England Academy

All girls in Year 8 are being offered the opportunity to be immunised against Human Papillomavirus (HPV). Medical advice is that the vaccine offers protection against two of the strains of HPV which can cause cervical cancer.

A member of the School Nursing Service will speak briefly to Year 8 girls regarding the vaccinations; an information leaflet and consent form has been issued to your daughter. If you wish your daughter to be vaccinated, it is important that the consent form is returned to the Main Academy Office before Friday 10^th October 2014.

HPV first vaccinations will be given on Monday 15^th December 2014 and the second dose will be given on Monday 29^th June 2015.

If you require further information, please do not hesitate to contact the school or you may find the following website of use: www.immunisation.nhs.uk/Vaccines/HPV

The Year 7 Disco will be held on Tuesday 16th December 2014 in ‘Food for Thought’ between 6:00pm and 8:00pm.

Tickets cost £2.00 and can be purchased at the Academy Business Office at break-times; all money should be placed inside a sealed envelope labelled with the pupil’s name and registration group along with a completed permission slip.

Payment for tickets can also be made on-line using ParentPay; there is a tick box facility for parents to give consent so there is no need to return the tear off slip.  If you pay by this method your daughter/son can simply collect a ticket from the Academy Business Office, allowing 48 hours after you make your payment.

All payments must be received no later than Friday 12th December.  If anyone has any financial concerns regarding payment please contact me via the Main Academy Office.  These concerns will be treated confidentially.  I hope that all pupils will choose to attend the disco; in the event of low ticket sales the disco will be cancelled.

Please ensure that your child is collected at 8:00pm to ensure their safety.

Yours faithfully

V M Lowthian
Head of Learning Year 7
