Support for the People of the Ukraine
The children of Granby Junior School have been talking a great deal about the situation in the Ukraine and really wanted to help. Led by Abigail and Oscar in Y3, and with the support of Oscar’s mum and her link to the Red Cross, we would like to ask our school family and the wider community, to support us in collecting essential items that can be shipped to those who need it.
If you feel you can help, please bring the items, from the list below, to Granby Junior school by Friday 25th March and we will ensure that they are distributed

Children aged 5 to 11 years who are in a clinical risk group or who live with someone who is immunosuppressed can get the COVID-19 vaccine, in line with advice set out by the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI). Eligible children include those with diabetes, immunosuppression, learning disabilities, and other conditions as outlined by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) in the Green Book.
Vaccinations help to increase protection against COVID-19, which is particularly important for those with underlying health conditions.
Further information is available in the guide for parents of children aged 5 to 11 years published by UKHSA. We have published some frequently asked questions on the vaccination programme including information on eligibility, accessibility and advice for parents of children at high risk from COVID-19. Following advice from the JCVI, healthy 5 to 11 year old children will also be offered two 10 microgram doses of the COVID-19 vaccine. The NHS will prepare to extend this non-urgent offer to all children during April.
