Medication
School staff are not legally or contractually required to give medicines to children, and we do discourage medicines in school. Whenever possible, please arrange for your child to receive their medicine outside school hours. We recognise that there may be times when medicine has to be administered in school, and the headteacher should be notified, in writing, on the appropriate form.
All medication must be handed into the school office.
Asthma
An Asthma Health Care Plan, signed by a health professional, an inhaler and a spacer device are required. Asthma inhalers must be in the original box labelled with instructions on the dosage and timings and are to be kept in school. These are kept (clearly labelled with the child's name) in the First Aid Cupboard and can be obtained immediately and at any time should an emergency arise.
