Medicines and Illness


For a child with a medical condition a Health Care Plan will be drawn up to ensure the child is looked after appropriately whilst in school.
Should your child require medication whilst in school please note:

Request should be in writing
Clear instructions about dosage
Ensure medication clearly labelled and prescribed by a doctor

Illness in School

When children become ill in school we will:

Contact parents by telephone at home or place of work. In order to avoid delay, the school must have a telephone number where they can be contacted. If we are unable to contact parents or a designated minder the school will make a decision about the most appropriate way of dealing with the accident or illness.

It is therefore vital we have you home/work contact number.
