Weighing and Measuring of Pupils in Reception and Y6

Report on from the 2005 - 2006 cohort in Cornwall

National Analysis of the weighing and measuring of pupils in England 2005 - 2006

SUMMER 2007

The weighing and measuring exercise continues to be a little controversial for a number of reasons this year but CHSP would like to encourage all schools to take part as the programme is vital to the achievement of the desire to reduce childhood obesity which is fundamental to the government's public health agenda in Choosing health and of the aims of the HS programme.

If there is anything the CHSP can do to support the process this year, including offering information for parents and carers or providing links to the classroom please let us know.
