Reception Height and Weight Checks

11th January 2023 By lisagillis

Every year in England, school children in Reception and Year 6 have their height and weight checked at school as part of the National Child Measurement Programme. Height and weight measurements are used to calculate weight status. This information is collected because it is in the public interest to understand how many children are overweight, healthy weight or underweight and offer support to parents where required. Your child’s class will take part in this year’s programme.

Please refer to the letter linked below which includes full information about the height and weight checks for Reception and Year 6 parents and carers.
