Message from Dr Sue Harrison, Strategic Director for Children and Families

Dear colleagues

We have reached the end of another academic year and I know you’ll have been immensely busy this week and looking forward to your well-deserved break over the summer holidays.

It’s been a busy year all round, as ever we have worked together to tackle those unexpected challenges as well as the predictable ones, and I’m looking forward to what the Autumn term will bring. Our Balanced Education system continues to gain traction and I can’t thank you enough for your positive comments and support on this.

We’ve been working steadily to forward plan and coordinate a detailed calendar of all meetings taking place across our Balanced Education partnership for the academic year 2024/25, and will share this with you at the start of term. We hope that providing visibility of all meetings taking place across the partnership will support in future planning, and we’d very much welcome your feedback. Please do get in touch with the team at schoolimprovement@birmingham.gov.uk with any information or potential dates we may have missed, along with any changes, additions or suggestions. This is a collaborative effort and we truly appreciate your input.

Don’t forget that our Meet the Team directory is also available and provides details of who to contact and how – Children and Families Directorate - Meet the team. All part of our commitment to keeping schools fully updated.

We’re also in the early stages of planning a conference for spring 2025, and will share more detail with schools in due course. Albeit safe to say, save 12 March 2025 in your diaries!

Our Director for Schools and Employability, Steve Kay, will be on board from 19 August and will complete our permanent Senior Leadership team here in Children’s Services. He’s very much looking forward to joining us in 麻豆视频 and I’ll be making formal introductions in September.

August brings the much anticipated exam results days, and I wish you and your pupils the very best of luck. We delight in sharing in your good news stories, so please do send them to us and any photographs from the day.

Many of you are supporting our holiday activities over the coming weeks, thank you and thanks to your wonderful staff who are keeping our schools open in order for our children and young people to have safe places to enjoy their summer holidays.

Whatever you have planned for the summer holidays, please enjoy, and make the most of your break. Thank you wholeheartedly for all the amazing work you do, and I very much look forward to seeing you in the Autumn.

With my very best wishes

Sue

School Aged Immunisation Service: Protecting Individuals and communities against infectious disease

FAO: All School Staff, Pupils and Parents

As schools come to the end of the academic year, it's important to ensure all children have the opportunity to access their recommended school aged immunisation’s.

Throughout the summer holidays the NHS 麻豆视频 Community Healthcare team will be operating community clinics, for pupils to attend who have missed their vaccinations in school:

• Year 8 HPV immunisation – offers protection against a virus that can cause cancer.
• Year 9 Teenage booster immunisations – one immunisation against tetanus, diphtheria, and polio, and one Immunisation against meningitis and septicaemia (blood poisoning).

Measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) immunisation for any pupil who has missed one or both recommended doses, is also being offered.

Please note that these vaccines do not contain pork gelatine.

Thank you for your support towards the success of the immunisation programme protecting individuals and the community against infectious disease.
