The nurses have a responsibility for first aid and ensuring that the medical and health needs of pupils are supported in school. They are available to talk to pupils in confidence about anything that is worrying them.
A “Health Matters” board, displays and assemblies are used to support local, national and international health promotional events and activities.
Ideally pupils should visit the Medical Room at break, lunchtime or between lessons, unless the need is urgent.
If a pupil feels unwell during the school day they must visit the medical room where the nurse on duty will assess whether it is necessary to return home. Pupils should not instigate these arrangements beforehand.
If a pupil feels unwell before coming to school and is likely to be ill during the day, parents are asked to keep them at home.
If parents wish to discuss any health issues that will affect their child whilst they are a member of the School, they should contact the nurses.
Parents are required to fill out a Medical Declaration & Medication Consent Form and a Food Allergy Form upon their child’s admission to the School. This will be kept confidential.
A copy of the Homely Remedies policy can be found as an appendix of the First Aid and Medical Health Needs policy.
Parents are asked to keep the nurses updated with regards to any changes to a pupil's medical and health needs.
