PRACTICE CLOSURE
Due to the weather disruption we have had a major computer outage which has affected our server. Our whole system is now down, and this problem is likely to persist through Monday.
If you have an urgent problem today please call 111, and as normal if you have a medical emergency call 999.
Please be patient, we are working with IT to resolve this as soon as possible.
Thank you.

Group A strep is a common bacteria which causes mild infections.
These infections are usually easily treated, but on rare occasions they can become more serious.
At this time of year there are lots of viruses circulating that cause children to be unwell, and it is more likely a child is ill from one of these than group A strep.
In this video, consultant paediatrician at the Victoria Hospital, Dr John Morrice, talks about what to look out for if your child is unwell, and when you may need to seek medical assistance.

Thanks guys.

Dear Students,

Exams do not measure your intelligence, your worth or even your learning.
They measure your ability to digest and re-share information (often asked in trick-speak to test the way your brain processes), in tense conditions and under pressure.
We can’t all do that.
Doesn’t mean you didn’t pay attention, study hard or try your best.
And it certainly doesn’t mean you are not amazing, wonderful humans with so much to offer this parched world.
Chances are you would be able to answer correctly on the same subjects in a relaxed environment with straight-shooting questions.
The system is flawed, but that’s okay, you’ll do just fine when you find your thing.
Your time to shine will come.
And oh will you shine.
