Parent Hub

Phoenix Academy prides itself on building excellent relationships with our parents and carers and to re-enforce our commitment to you, we hold regular coffee mornings and invite all our parents and carers to come along and have a chat with likeminded parents/carers who have similar experiences, whilst enjoying a tea/coffee and cake (there is always cake!).

Our Family Intervention Workers (Kelly & Steph) are on hand to provide any additional support you may require and have a wealth of information regarding support groups and are able to signpost you for further advice/help as required.

We also hold numerous events throughout the academic year such as summer fayres, table top sales and cake sales – look out for the notices.

Please come along and join us at one of our many coffee mornings and we even have a parent breakfast that you are welcome to join us for.  We send dates/times out regularly and these are always uploaded onto Class Dojo.  If you have not yet accepted the invitation to join our Class Dojo, please do so because we would not want anyone to miss out.

If you would like any support/advice, please contact our family intervention workers on 01922 712834.

Below you can find lots of information and resources that can be accessed for further advice/support.

MMR

Measles is a very infectious disease which is currently circulating in the West Midlands. It spreads easily and can lead to serious health complications and even death, especially in unvaccinated children. Most of the cases in England have been in children under the age of 10 years with many outbreaks linked to nurseries and schools.

The best way to protect your child and prevent Measles spreading is to ensure that they have received two doses of the Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) Vaccine.

The vaccine is safe and effective, and two doses gives excellent lifelong protection.

If your child has missed out on their MMR vaccine, or did not receive their second dose, it’s not too late to protect them. The School Age Immunisations Service is offering a free MMR catch-up clinic:

 Location: Walsall North Locality Family Hub, 275 Blakenall lane, Walsall, WS3 1HJ

Date and time: Saturday 11th April, 9am – 1pm

How to book: Telephone SAIS on 01922 902035

Booking is preferable but no school aged child (from y1 and above) will be turned away if you would like to drop-in on the day. If the dates of this clinic are not convenient, please contact your GP, who will be happy to arrange for a vaccination.

For further information on Measles and the MMR vaccine please visit MMRV Vaccine (Measles, Mumps, Rubella, And Varicella Vaccine) | Vaccine Knowledge Project

In addition to the MMR vaccine, the clinic will also be offering catch up vaccinations for the following missed vaccinations: MenACWY (Meningitis A, C, W, Y), DTaP/IPV (Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis / Polio) and HPV (Human Papillomavirus, where age-appropriate).
