Medical Facilities
If your child has any specific health difficulties or needs, please inform school. If medicine needs to be taken at school parents should consult the Head Teacher as staff are not allowed to dispense medicines. Appropriate proformas must be completed before any medication can be administered.
There are times when the school doctor, school dentist and school nurse will visit and carry out routine inspections. No treatments will be given to children without prior consent of parents.
In the event of sickness or injury staff trained in first aid will care for your child and seek further advice. If necessary parents will be contacted as soon as possible and arrangements made to have the child taken home. If this procedure is to be followed efficiently it is important that we have an up to date record of addresses and telephone numbers so we can make contact quickly. If your circumstances change during the year please remember to inform the school.
Please keep an ill child at home until well, or until your doctor says they can return to school. This is particularly important in the case of infectious diseases.
