Can I opt out of all school health check ups and vaccinations?
Yes. They send a letter out telling you when they are going to do medical checks (I had one recently for a hearing test) You have to sign the consent (or not in your case) before anything can be done. Likewise you will be informed for vaccinations. Here is the NHS web page with info: http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/Yourchildatsc… Also, ALL schools have to have a Health Policy. You can ask to see it to put your mind at rest. Here is an example of one online: http://www.bellaghyps.co.uk/Microsoft%20… Edit: Guess you mean ‘Nitty Nora the Bug Explorer’ ? They are not even allowed to check for nits/lice these days btw. As usual some people don’t read the question properly – lectures about vaccines when you say quite clearly you will get this done by your doctor *sigh*.
