To all families in receipt of Free School Meals:

A payment of £30 per child will be provided as food support for families in receipt of benefits-related free school meals, for the Christmas holiday period. Vouchers will be issued by the start of the holiday. Our Here2Help (https://www.solihull.gov.uk/COVID-19/here2help) provide details of additional food provision and essential utilities to support families with children, other vulnerable households and individuals. Our HAF Activities page (https://www.solihull.gov.uk/children-and-family-support/Holiday-Activities-Food-Programme) provides information on activities which are free to children on benefits-related free school meals during the Christmas, Easter and Summer school holidays.

Group A Streptococcal Infections in England

Prevention Advice:

It is by the respiratory route so good respiratory hygiene should be practiced as standard.

Good respiratory hygiene should be encouraged (covering noses and mouths with disposable tissues when coughing or sneezing and discarding it after use).
Good hand hygiene should also be encouraged (after using the toilet and before eating as per usual but also after coughing, sneezing or assisting others with respiratory hygiene).
Parents/carers to seek medical advice and antibiotic treatment for children
Individuals with scarlet fever should be excluded from school until they have been on a course of antibiotics for at least 24 hours. Individuals who do not take antibiotic treatment will be infectious for two to three weeks.
Avoid sharing contaminated eating utensils, cups and glasses, clothes, baths, bed linen or towels.
Avoid touching any open or weeping wounds (streptococcal skin infections such as impetigo are cause by the same bacteria as scarlet fever).

Examination Results

All examination results will be available for collection from the school between 10.00am and 12 noon on Thursday 25 August 2022.
