5 yr old DS growth

My DS has just had his school entry check with the school nurse and she has recorded his height and weight as being on the 25th centile. This is the first time his growth has been checked since he was a toddler and I took him to the HV and at that time, he always followed the 50th centile. Should I be worried about the drop or is this fairly standard?

My main concern is that he suffers from eczema and I have to use steroid creams frequently (mainly the reduced dose Betnovate) but the dermatologist assures me that this is safe.
