ILLNESS IN SCHOOL
If your child is taken ill in school or has an accident, you will be contacted. For this reason it is vital that if you change your address or telephone number, or work details, you will let us know immediately.
MEDICINE IN SCHOOL
For safety reasons, no medicines or tablets are allowed in school. Exceptions are made in the cases of asthma and diabetes. If your child suffers from asthma, a named inhaler and clear written instructions relating to its use must be provided. Inhalers are kept in the classrooms and children have access to their inhaler at any time they may need them. If a child needs to take medicine during the day, parents are welcome to come into school and administer it.
If you have any queries, please contact the school office.
