This will streamline the way the vaccinations given to children and young people are processed and recorded.   You can complete the online form for your child by visiting: www.leicsandrutlandimms.co.uk/Forms/Flu    You will require a code for your child’s school.

  Well done North Mead! Our recent Nepal Day was a huge success, and the school has now been awarded the International Award, Intermediate Level. The assessor shared the following comments, “Well done North Mead Primary Academy you are clearly working towards embedding an increasing international perspective.. You are involving most of your children and it is clear from your general information that you do have a range of activities throughout the year, Your listed activities are valid and interesting and fulfill the commitment of linking with a partner school. The Prayer bunting is an unusual idea but very visual and rewarding for the pupils.
