Health

Children should normally only be sent to school if they are capable of undertaking all school activities. If a child has a bout of sickness and/or diarrhoea they must be kept at home for 48 hours.

Unless a medical care plan has been set up by Virgin Care we are unable to administer any medication to your child. More details can be found in our Medical Policy. It is important that the school are informed immediately of any changes that may affect your child's health.

If your child uses an inhaler you will be asked to complete a form and provide an asthma plan from your doctors surgery. You are responsible to ensure that your child's medicines are in date.

Medical

The school nurse visits annually to carry out checks on hearing and vision for all of our reception children. Your permission will be sought prior to any visit.

Flu vaccinations are delivered in accordance with statutory government advice, which we are given annually.

The school can refer to the school nurse service to seek advice on a range of medical conditions. Your permission will always be sought in advance.
