Hearing and Vision Screening
Hearing and Vision screening
Every year in England, the School Health Service offers Hearing and Vision screening to Reception year children. We also provide the National Child Measurement Programme (NCMP) for Reception and Year 6 children.
All checks are carried out by registered school nurses or trained health professionals using Thomson Screening Solutions. The programme will be delivered in line with national and local guidance.
Hearing and Vision (Reception Year Only)
This screening may take place at the child’s school or local health centre.
Screening results can be accessed via the secure online Parent Portal.
This screening may help in detecting hearing or vision problems early, so that advice and support can be provided.
For assistance with the Parent Portal, please contact parentsupport@schoolscreener.com or call 0203 917 4055.
NELFT is committed to implementing the NCMP across schools. If you require support, help or advice we invite you to contact us on the below details.
