Please make sure that you sign in at the scorer’s table when you arrive and collect you score sheets. Please ensure that the score sheets are returned to the scorer’s table before you leave at the end of the event.

Toilets are located in the main school building and can be accessed through the school hall. Please remove any muddy shoes/trainers or wellies.

Refreshments

Hugglescote PTA will be serving refreshments in the main school hall located at the rear of the fields. There will be a variety of hot and cold drinks and snacks available.

North West Leicestershire cross country is meant to be an enjoyable, fun event but it is also competitive and there are a number of very good runners in our schools. The league will also serve as selection for the NW Leicestershire team (KS2 only) to enter the County Cross Country race later this year. In the event of adverse weather, a field inspection will take place on the Friday lunchtime and schools who have confirmed their attendance will be contacted.

Thank you for coming to the event, good luck and we hope you enjoy the morning.

Kind regards

New mental health and wellbeing guide for children, young people and families

New mental health and wellbeing guide for children, young people and families

A new guide targeting children, young people and families with emotional, mental health and wellbeing needs is now available online.

The directory provides information on a range of general and specialist NHS mental health services for young people, including online and telephone support, together with top tips for children and families and details of youth groups as well as support available from local councils. 

Produced by Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Clinical Commissioning Groups (LLR CCGs), the directory is intended to encourage and support young people to get the help they need.

The directory complements the existing award-winning local NHS health promotion websites for children and young people, which host a range of information and advice around physical and mental health, including details of local services and organisations for support. You can find these on www.healthforkids.co.uk and www.healthforteens.co.uk

The directory is available online at http://bit.ly/mentalhealthLLR

A copy of the directory is also in our digital library in the wellbeing folder.
