An A to Z of DUCKS
First Aid Most accidents involving children at DUCKS need minor first aid combined with TLC and reassurance. A number of staff hold Paediatric First Aid certificates. If a child has an accident of a more serious nature, a First Aider will assess the situation and ensure the injury is treated appropriately. If your child has an accident whilst at school, this will be recorded on an accident form. We will inform you about the accident verbally, by phone or when you collect your child. We have procedures for emergency first aid as well as a procedure for transporting children to the Dulwich College Medical Centre (where trained nurses and doctors are available) or, if required, to hospital. Friends of DUCKS (FoD) All parents automatically become a member of Friends of DUCKS when their child joins our school. FoD is led by co-chairs, a committee and class representatives. The purpose of FoD is to support the school, organise class events, social events, run activities at Founder’s Day and raise money for charity. The main events in the FoD calendar are the Christmas Fair, AGM, Summer Party and second hand uniform sales.
Golden Rules The Golden Rules underpin our values.
We believe the Golden Rules create a positive approach to developing the correct behaviour and attitudes to school life. We are gentle We are kind and helpful We look after property We listen We are honest We work hard The Golden Rules are displayed throughout DUCKS, they are discussed and modelled during school assemblies, taken with us whenever we are away from DUCKS and explored during class Circle Time in the Infants’ School. Lost Property Please label all items of clothing to help the staff return the correct uniform, clothing and belongings to the correct child. During the school day, children have many situations when they are taking off layers of clothing, e.g. to engage in water play, clothing being washed after a very messy activity, at playtime, PE, swimming or going for a sleep. If all items of clothing are labelled it ensures that we are able to quickly and efficiently return clothes to the correct child. At the end of each term any unclaimed items are given to Friends of DUCKS for the uniform sale or donated to charity.
