Medical

If a student has an accident they must see a first aider.  If the school feels they should be checked by a medical profession, we will contact their parent/carer and ask them to collect the child from school.

If a student feels too ill to remain in school, they should tell their class teacher.  If necessary parents/carers will be contacted and asked to collect.

Any medication held in school must have been prescribed to that child, and should have the prescription label on the bottle/box.  A parent/carer must complete a form giving permission for the medication to be administered. 

Non-prescription medicines cannot be administered by the school.

It is always best to make medical appointments outside Academy hours. If this is not possible, then parents/carers MUST provide the school office with confirmation of the appointment from their doctor or hospital.
