Your Child's Health:                                                                                  

If your child has any medical conditions (including asthma) we will ask you to complete a health care plan for your child. We try to avoid administering medicine in school unless absolutely necessary.  However, if your child does require medicine in school please fill in a medicine administration form available in the office.  

The majority of our staff have received First Aid training and are able to administer first aid to your child if they have an accident in school. Most incidents are minor but we will put a note in their journal or send a text if we feel you need to know what has happened, and will contact you immediately if it is more serious.

If your child is ill and you are unsure whether you should send them in, please feel free to phone for advice. Common sense is the best guide and it is important to contain the spread of infections where possible. For example, your child may need a couple of days off school if they have had sickness and / or diarrhoea.  We do however expect pupil attendance to be at least 96%, and therefore encourage children to be in to at least ‘see how they go’ unless they are really poorly.
