Medicines in School
From time to time your child may be well enough to attend school but requires medicine throughout the day. Please download the school’s Medicine Policy giving details of when this is possible and what information we need from you.
First Aid in School
We have a number of staff qualified to undertake first aid. Where your child has been treated by a first aider, he or she will bring home a note giving details of the incident and the treatment to ensure you are informed should further treatment become necessary.
Where a child requires emergency treatment this will be sought by the staff ‘in loco parentis’ and the parents will be contacted.
