Medical Information
Accidents and Minor Ailments
If your child is ill at school you may be contacted and asked to take him/her home.
If a minor accident occurs the matter is dealt with by a qualified first-aider. Where first aid has been given, a note will be sent home with your child.
For more serious accidents, parents will be contacted and you may be asked to collect your child and take them to be checked by a medical professional. If it becomes necessary for the school to call for an ambulance for your child, you will be contacted so that you are able to accompany your child to the hospital. Where parents/carers are not able to accompany a child to hospital, members of the school staff will accompany them.
Emergency Contact
If your child is unwell during the school day we will need to contact you or a named person so that they can be taken home.
PLEASE INFORM THE SCHOOL IF YOUR DAYTIME CONTACT NUMBERS CHANGE.
Health Checks
Medical professionals will come in to carry out checks on things such as sight and hearing at various times during your child's school career. Parents/Carers will be made aware of these checks in advance and will be asked to sign consent forms.
Flu immunisation
Flu immunisations are available in school on an annual basis. Forms will be sent home each year asking parents/carers to give their consent for their child to receive the immunisation. No child will be given the flu immunisation without a parent/carer's consent.
Medical Welfare
NO MEDICINE OR PILLS SHOULD BE SENT TO SCHOOL WITH THE CHILDREN
Any queries regarding regular medication please see the Office staff. In cases of sickness or diarrhoea, you are asked to allow 48 hours to elapse before sending your child back to school in order to avoid an epidemic.
