Procedures:
When a pupil is sick or injured in school they will be taken or sent (if appropriate) to the reception area of the building, where a trained assistant will attend to them. Minor injuries will be treated and recorded. A note will be sent home with the child, to inform parents what has happened. If the injury or illness is serious, the parent/carer will be contacted immediately and qualified medical assistance will be requested.
Medicines in School
No one in school is qualified to administer medicines. If your child is taking medicine, please ensure that it is administered before and after school.
