MEDICAL SUPPORT

If your child requires medication for a serious medical condition, e.g. an Epipen, asthma inhaler, diabetic medication or any other type of medication, please ensure that it is brought into school clearly labelled with your child’s name and any supporting paperwork that we may need.

Before we can administer medication for your child, please complete the parental agreement for school to administer medication (physical copies can be collected from reception). This must be completed and handed to our reception staff along with the named medication in its original packaging.

Pupils are not permitted to carry prescribed or over the counter medication with them – it must be handed in to reception, and a consent form must be completed by a parent/guardian for the school to administer medication.

The only medication pupils can carry are inhalers, epipens, and diabetic equipment.

We have a school inhaler for students to use who have asthma, and a spare epipen for students who have been prescribed one for use if needed in an emergency. For any student that has a mild allergy that we are aware of, we have Piriton.

For any of these items to be used or administered, a consent form must be completed and returned – please see the permission forms below.
