Administering of Medicines in School

There may be individual circumstances that require medicine to be administered in school.  Any such cases should be discussed with Head Teacher who will ask the parent to complete a “Medication in School” form. We do ask parents to request the doctor, where possible, to prescribe a dosage that does not require medication to be taken during the school day.

Patent medicines eg. Calpol, Tixylix must not be sent to school unless prescribed by a doctor.

If your child has a medical problem or develops one during their time with us, please inform the school via the Parent App medical consent form so we know and can record it on file.

All inhalers for all children are kept in their respective classrooms and a record is kept of the children who have them.

Head lice checks are no longer undertaken on a regular basis by the LA. Regular combing, not brushing, and checking helps to keep the hair healthy. If your child gets infected, a ‘nit’ comb available from the chemist and combed through hair shampooed and conditioned hair will remove the head lice and eggs. If your child does get infected, please inform the school as we will then inform parents of the children in that class to check their child’s hair.
