Medical and Medicines
We regret we are unable to give any medication to your child if such a form has not been filled out, nor are we able to fetch a child from class when it is time for their medicine – they will need to be sent to the office by their class teacher.
We keep a register of all those children who have asthma and who may require the use on an inhaler. Children in Key Stage 2 are responsible for their own inhalers, whilst those for children in Key Stage 1 are kept in the school office. Inhalers for Reception Class children are stored in their classroom.
Pupil Absence
If your child is absent through illness or some other circumstance, please ring school on the first day of any such absence and we will let their class teacher know. It is not necessary to ring on a second day of absence. If we do not receive a note or a verbal explanation, the absence will be marked as unauthorised.
