Medical Advice
If your child is away from school for any reason, please telephone the school as soon as possible. Any absence not explained is recorded as ‘unauthorised’.
Registers are completed as soon as the children come into school and any child not present when the register is returned to the school office will be marked absent.
If children arrive late they need to go to the school office to let the office staff know they have arrived. Their absent mark will then be changed to a late mark.
First aid in school
We have a number of staff qualified to undertake first aid. Where your child has been treated by a first aider, you will either be notified via telephone or by their teacher at the end of the school day.
Where a child requires emergency treatment this will be sought by the staff ‘in loco parentis’ and the parents will be contacted.
Please find our policy below:
Medicines in School
In order that your child receives the correct treatment we ask that medicines that need administering during the school day be kept to a minimum.
You are most welcome to come into school and administer yourself, but the school does need to be fully aware of the arrangements made.
Special arrangements are made for children with asthma. Prescribed medicines only can be administered by the school office the relevant form must be completed and signed at the office.

Head lice are extremely common in close-knit environments such as schools. Please see below to access information on the management of head lice.
Benedict's Law and Allergy Safety
Our school is committed to meeting the requirements of Benedict's Law, ensuring that children with allergies are supported safely whilst in school. We hold a number of emergency adrenaline auto-injectors (EpiPens) on site and have procedures in place to support pupils with known allergies.
Parents and carers must inform the school of any allergies or food intolerances so that appropriate arrangements can be made.
Please see our Allergy Policy on the Policies page for further information
