Medicines
To ensure the safety of our students, we adhere to strict guidelines regarding medication in school.
Paracetamol: The school stock of paracetamol is available for emergencies only. If your child requires regular paracetamol, it must be provided by you. Paracetamol will only be administered between 10:40 am and 1:35 pm.
Prescribed or Over-the-Counter Medication: If your child requires any GP-prescribed medication or over-the-counter medication (such as antihistamines or migraine medication), we require a signed consent form, which can be downloaded from our website. All medication must be in its original packaging, clearly stating the student's name, tutor group, dosage, and times for administration. The consent form must be signed by a parent or carer.
Medication Submission: All medication must be handed in to the Student Reception or Medical Officer before registration. Students are not permitted to carry medication with them.
Exceptions: Anaphylaxis pens, asthma inhalers, and diabetic equipment are exceptions. For these, an Individual Care Plan must be completed, which can be found online or obtained from the Medical Officer in the medical room.
