MEDICAL INFORMATION
FIRST AID ROOM The school provides a First Aid room. Students with medical difficulties that develop during the day will be sent to the First Aid room by their teacher. The school will administer First Aid only and will not stray into areas that need professional advice. The First Aid room is located just off the main Reception. MEDICINE If your child needs medicine during the day please ensure that the medication is handed to the Year Office along with a letter from you stating dosage and times of administration which the child will have to administer themselves. The staff at the school are not medically qualified to dispense medicine, even everyday paracetamol, without a consenting letter from you. If your child suffers with asthma, please ensure that they always carry their inhaler. SERIOUS MEDICAL MATTERS If your child has any serious medical conditions, please notify your child’s Tutor and ensure that the Data Collection Sheet included in the induction pack is filled in and returned to us. MEDICAL/DENTAL APPOINTMENTS Please try to arrange appointments outside of school hours, although we do understand that this is sometimes unavoidable. If your child needs to leave the premises during the school day, your child must bring a note explaining times of collection. Students leaving the school site for appointments need to sign out at main Reception and an authorised parent/carer collect them from there. CAREPLAN TRANSFER If your child has a medical care plan in their current setting please contact:
