By working in partnership with parents/carers, pupils and health professionals, we will be able to support pupils who have healthcare needs in a safe, efficient and secure environment. This includes pupils who require medication during school time. If you need us to support you with any medical needs please email us and we will be delighted to assist you. Please do not send medication (other than as agreed in advance) into school via the school bags.
More information, including the forms can be found here.
At the beginning of each session we ask you to share/ update your child’s medical information. We use this to compile plans and ensure your child’s needs are met. If your child’s information changes throughout the year please let us know.
