Medicines in School
If a child requires any form of medication whilst at school, a Medication Form must be fully completed (these are available at the school office). However, please be aware that we are only able to administer essential prescribed medication and only if it is required 4 times daily.
In the case of asthma medication, we expect children to have an inhaler kept in school at all times, They are kept in the school office and are accessible for the children when required. Please keep us informed of any changes in your child's medical condition.
Any medication must be labelled with:
-
the child's name
-
the name of the medicine
-
dosage and timing
-
any further details of importance.
The school office provides the initial point of contact for minor first aid.
If your child is ill during the day, we may need to get in touch with you. Please keep us up-to-date with any changes to emergency contact numbers. Children will not be allowed home unaccompanied if unwell.
