Illness and Medicines

 
During School – your child should tell a member of staff who will assess his/her needs.

Before School – parents should contact school to let us know what is wrong.

In the interest of your own child and other children it is advisable to consider keeping your child at home if they are unwell prior to school, in particular if they have been sick at home.


Medicines
Generally, if a child requires medication he/she should be at home. It is not usual for staff to administer medicine at any time, although in exceptional circumstances this can be catered for (e.g. an on-going medical condition such as asthma, peanut and other allergies). In such cases, parents must complete a permission form obtainable from the school office.
