Birmingham Community Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust: App library website
The NHS is working with ORCHA, the Organisation for the Review of Care and Health Applications. ORCHA robustly evaluate the hundreds of thousands of health and care apps that are currently available on the market, and provide an easy to use app library website, that makes it simple and quick to find the best and safest apps.
In short, ORCHA looks at the data and security, clinical/professional assurance, and usability and accessibility of apps. The app library website can be found at bhamcommunity.orcha.co.uk. There is a collection of apps in the library dedicated to children, young people and families.
The NHS would really appreciate it if schools could help spread the word about this new resource by circulating the attached letter to the families. This is a really valuable website that not only helps the NHS to support families’ health but also protect them from potentially dangerous apps.

Anti bullying week 2021
Please click here for odd sock day photographs
Anti bullying week is taking place from 15th to 19th of November 2021.
Kindness is more important today than it has ever been. The isolation of the last year has underlined how little acts of consideration can break down barriers and brighten the lives of the people around us. This is one of the reasons, that ‘One Kind Word’ has been chosen as the theme of Anti-Bullying Week.
We would like all the children to wear odd socks to school on Monday 15th November. There is a serious message behind the fun: let’s pull on odd socks to show we’re ALL unique and different, and let’s be kind to each other and respect each other’s individuality.
We are going to be involved in lots of fun activities next week all about anti bullying. Keep a look out on the website for photographs.
It starts with one kind word, it starts today.

We want all children to be physically active. In addition to playtime and lunchtime with their year group each child has two PE lessons a week.
These are the PE days for each year group:
Children can come to school in their PE kit.
We request children wear the correct PE kit. This is pair of black shorts, leggings or jogging bottoms , a white T- shirt ( no logos) and a pair of black pumps. For outdoor PE pupils can wear trainers. Hair bands should be green, black, or grey.
Swimming
On a swimming day all children should wear their school uniform.

Keeping hydrated helps children concentrate in lessons. We encourage all pupils to bring a water bottle to school each day. Water bottles will come home each day for cleaning and refilling.
