Letter to Parents & Carers – 16th January 2023

16 January 2023

Dear Parents /carers.

I wanted to write to you to give you an update and signpost you to some resources that might help support your child and wider family. 

BeeZee bodies is a service for students and families provided free by Birmingham City Council. The service is to provide weight management and healthy living support. The 12-week course includes online resources to help families learn about diet, nutrition, exercise and more. There are fun, interactive webinars led by expert nutritionists and a one-hour opportunity for 1:1 work to address specific challenges around maintaining healthy habits at home. The course is online and is done in the evening so that the whole family can access. If you would like more information on how to access this service, please follow this link For Families (beezeebodies.com). If you would prefer for the school to make the referral on your behalf, then please let me know directly. 

In addition to Beezee bodies, Birmingham City Council have many free parenting classes. These are listed below:
