Very sadly and unexpectedly this March, Emilia, one of our Seahorses at Meoncross Nursery passed away from sepsis following an undiagnosed invasive strep A infection.  Emilia was the daughter of one our lovely teachers.  Emilia enjoyed nursery, doing ballet with Miss Lucy, eating fish and chips on Fridays and playing with her friends.  She loved being in the Nativity and said she wanted to be Joseph next year!

Emilia was a very active little girl, playing tennis, swimming, trampolining, doing forest school, copying her sister's gymnastic and dance moves and enjoyed coming along on family cycle rides (though, according to Mrs Lopez, she often fell asleep!)

We would like to join and support Emilia's family and friends in participating in the 2020 Cycle4Sepsis Challenge as a school, with as many of us cycling as possible in September to raise money for the Sepsis Trust.  You can follow the miles we have cycled on this page.

Every year in the UK, sepsis kills at least 48,000 people.  With better awareness, thousands of these lives could be saved.  As well as raising awareness, the Sepsis Trust also supports families affected by sepsis through therapy and counselling.  They have also since March been supporting those affected by Covid-19.  Your donations make a real difference and we thank you!
