Medical Conditions
Please notify the school of any special medical conditions which may affect your child whilst at school or on a visit. During school hours minor cuts, scrapes etc. are treated in school. In the event of a serious accident (e.g. suspected broken bone) parents will be immediately contacted. If no contact can be made the child will be taken to University Hospital for treatment to begin and a message will be left at the child’s home and at the school. No child will be left unaccompanied at any hospital or clinic.
Medicines
If your child is well enough to attend school but requires medicines prescribed by the doctor during school hours please ensure that all medicines are taken directly to the school office. An ’Administration of Medication’ form must then be completed and returned to the school office. No child is permitted to have any medication in his/her possession. We cannot give medicines which have not been prescribed e.g. Calpol. If your child contracts an infectious disease such as whooping cough, measles, mumps or chicken pox etc. please check with your medical practitioner to establish when it is safe for your child to return to school without putting other children or adults at risk.
