Illnesses

What happens if a child takes ill in school?

If your child is ill in school we will make every effort to contact you or your nominated representative. It is therefore important that we have a record of a contact name and telephone number or an address if someone other than a parent needs to be contacted.

We will always act in the best interest of the child and deal with the problems should we be unable to make contact.

If my child needs to take prescribed medication during school hours what should I do?

In exceptional circumstances, and then only by prior arrangement may children be in the possession of medicines/inhalers. If medication is important then we ask that the medicines be clearly labelled with the child's name and also that the pharmacist's label giving the doctor's instructions on dosage and the interval between doses be clearly readable.

Medicines should be delivered personally to the School Secretary. You will be required to complete the appropriate medical form. Also it would be helpful if we could have some sort of indication of the nature of the illness in case any emergency should arise.
