No medicines may be brought from home, whatever is likely to be required is either stocked or can be obtained.
If a day pupil had been given medication by their doctors that they need to take whilst at school please provide the medication clearly labelled with your child’s name, date of birth and instructions for administration. This must be handed into Reception at the start of the school day.
The school nurse will only give medication to day pupils if it is deemed absolutely necessary or in an emergency and only if a medical details form with your signed consent has been returned. Please note, consent to or refusal of medical or dental treatment is based upon the pupil’s competency and not age. For any pupil not deemed competent, parental, guardian or houseparent (in case of emergency) consent is required.
