Growing up in Kensington and Chelsea.

Plain-English context

Children are weighed at school in reception (age 4–5) and year 6 (age 10–11) through the National Child Measurement Programme. In Kensington and Chelsea, about 10.6% of reception children (55 children) and 18% of year-6 children (100 children) live with obesity. Population cut-offs used for tracking differ from clinical thresholds for individual children. We describe the numbers factually and avoid language that stigmatises children or families.
