This would be useful to avoid there being two different places to record this info (we have created a specific register for this in Pupil Registers). Going forward, we understand that the DfE will be deep diving into the effects on attainment and wellbeing of being left or right handed. They will be seeking to ensure schools identify and address any specific needs for left handers. For this reason we have created a register in Pupil Registers so that we can record the data there as well as having the information easily viewable for teachers within registers and pupil lists. We do not, therefore, need the rather less functional 'Right/left handed' box on the Health Record. For this reason, we would like to opt out of it showing in the Health Record.
