Dickinson, Ross Gardiner, Kelly Nicholas and Nadine More who gained credits,
but all the students who made the effort to sit the test.

Meningococcal Immunisation
The third round of the vaccination programme for meningococcal has been
completed. The fourth round will be Friday, 16th September and it will
provide the last opportunity for children to complete their three
immunisations in the school setting.
As we have emphasised throughout the programme, it is absolutely essential
to receive all three injections to achieve the best protection from
meningococcal B disease. With this in mind, we strongly urge parents
to make every effort to ensure their children get the full course. If
for some reason children have not been able to complete their three
vaccinations by the time we finish round four, they will need to go to their
GP to complete the programme. We will provide notification to GP
practices for children who have not completed their immunisations.
