NCMP – Weighing and measuring programme
The National Child Measurement Programme (NCMP) is a public health initiative in England that measures the height and weight of children in Reception (aged 4-5) and Year 6 (aged 10-11).
By participating in the NCMP, primary-age children contribute to a broader understanding of childhood obesity, which can lead to better-targeted interventions and support for maintaining a healthy weight.
The NCMP aims to engage families in their child’s health and provide them with the tools and knowledge to support their child’s well-being.
