Height and Weight checks of Reception and Year 6 children as part of the National Child Measurement Programme (NCMP)
Dear Parents/Carers
As in previous years the Families’ Health and Wellbeing (0-19) service has been commissioned by Staffordshire County Council to deliver the National Child Measurement Programme.
We have arranged for members of the Families’ Health and Wellbeing team to visit the school on 10th March 2025 to complete the height and weight measurements on your child’s class (Reception and Y6 children only). The checks will be carried out sensitively and in line with the school and local authority’s safety control measures. The enclosed pre-measurement letter (PDF) and leaflet link below provide further information regarding the programme.

We thank you in anticipation of your support with the programme.
Kind Regards
