Medical Care and Accidents
It is the policy of the school that teachers are not normally allowed to administer drugs of any kind to children.  If your child needs medication during school hours, parents must come to school at a time arranged with school to give the necessary medication.   

At the head’s discretion, medicines may be administered for medical conditions that require long term medication e.g. asthma.

 

If your child has any special medical conditions that might affect his/her school life in anyway whatsoever, e.g. heart murmur, asthma, could you please discuss this with his/her class teacher and/or Headteacher.  This is often an on-going situation so please update this information regularly.

 

The school has a number of first-aiders.  Children who have minor accidents will be given appropriate first-aid treatment.   If necessary, wounds will be covered with a sterile dressing.  Parents will be contacted or informed where necessary. If your child has an allergy to Elastoplasts please notify the office.  Parents will need to provide an emergency contact number for use when necessary.  These need to be updated regularly.
