Medical Conditions
Medication
We do not administer medication at school for short term medical conditions unless it is detrimental to a child’s health or attendance not to do so. Adults are welcome to come in and give medication or ask your GP for a regime that works around the school day. On a similar note children are not allowed to bring cough sweets or similar to take on their own.
Care Plans
In cases where children have special medical needs e.g. asthma or allergies, parents/carers should ensure the school are made aware. Mrs Brown and Mrs Kingham meet with parents and carers to write individualised care plans so medical needs are not a barrier to learning.
Medical Appointments
We request you make any medical appointments outside the school day. If you have no option than to take your child to an appointment during the school day, please contact the office detailing the appointment date and the time you will be collecting your child and when they will return. On the day of the appointment please go to the office to collect your child and not to the classroom door.
