Medication

The Staff and Governors are committed to the inclusion of all pupils and wish to ensure that pupils with medical needs receive proper care and support at school. We ensure that pupils with a medical condition can and do participate fully in all aspects of school life.

Our staff are only permitted to administer prescription or non-prescription medicines if we have received written consent from parents and where the medicine has been prescribed by a doctor. Where possible, please request that the doctor prescribe three doses of medicine so that the medicine does not have to be given during school time. If your child requires medication, please complete the form below and hand the form and the medication to the school office. A paper copy of this form is also available from the school office.

We recognise that some conditions require regular medicines to be administered for example asthma, allergies and diabetes. Our staff are trained and able to fully support children suffering with varying conditions

At the beginning of each school year or when a child joins the school, parents/carers will be asked if their child has any medical conditions on their admission form. It is the responsibility of the parent/carer to notify the school of changes in medication or dosage. This should be done in writing and must be handed to the school office. It is the responsibly of parents/carers to check the expiry dates of medication.

Parents are now able to notify the school of medical appointments by using the ‘Medical Appointment Notification’ form on Parentapps.
