Our Healthy Year: Reception presentation for school nursing teams

A PowerPoint presentation for school nursing teams to use with Reception pupils on measuring day, as part of the National Child Measurement Programme (NCMP).

School nursing teams may wish to use this PowerPoint presentation with Reception pupils on measurement day as a conversation starter, ensuring that they feel positive about being weighed and measured, and understand what will happen. It’s also an opportunity to deliver messages about eating well and moving more to all pupils, including those who have opted out of the NCMP and those not in main stream education.

This resource is part of Our Healthy Year, a set of resources to help build healthy behaviours in pupils during the school years in which they are weighed and measured as part of the NCMP. The resources are adaptable and can be used in a variety of ways depending on the approach used in different schools or settings.

Other Our Healthy Year resources for school nurses delivering the NCMP include an information leaflet, presentations for year 6 and parents, a year 6 leaflet and a healthy diary template. The resources are adaptable and can be used in a variety of ways depending on the approach used in different schools or settings. Additional resources for school nursing teams will be available soon.

Our Healthy Year headteacher resources, a reception teacher toolkit and a year 6 teacher toolkit, resources are available.
