Staff at North Fawdon Primary School, in Newcastle, receiving the award
A NEWCASTLE primary school has met all three requirements to receive an award from a premature baby charity.
North Fawdon Primary School, which is part of SMART multi-academy trust, has met all points of the criteria set by The Smallest Things charity, which include:
• accessing the free PRISM e-learning to train staff
• asking parents if children were born prematurely as part of the admissions process
• requesting feedback from parents on any extra support provided
Research revealed that on average two to three children in every typical classroom have been born prematurely (before 37 weeks).
