School Clinic
AT BSAK
(Please note that much of this may be amended due to the COVID 19 guidelines in place at the time of reading)
The School Clinic is staffed by a team of HAAD registered School Nurses and professional administrators. The main role of the Nurses is to provide first aid and/or emergency care to all students and to ensure the safety of children at all times.
WHEN TO KEEP YOUR CHILD AT HOME
BSAK has a clear policy for when children are unwell which is guided by the Department of Health Abu Dhabi and UK regulations. Please see the nursing handbook for more information on illnesses that require you to keep your children at home. The nursing team will contact parents when a student is unwell during the school day and needs to go home. Students should not be using their mobile phones to call their parents during the school day. Please ensure your contact details are correct on the parent portal as these are the numbers used in an emergency.
COLLECTING YOUR CHILD FROM THE SCHOOL CLINIC
If you receive a call about your child who needs to either go home or be seen by a Doctor, we request that you collect your child as promptly as possible. We suggest that within 1 hour is an acceptable time frame, however, we appreciate that this may not always be possible. If parents are unable to collect their child, they should notify the Nurse of the details of another person who is able to collect them. Year 11 students must sign out at Secondary Reception with their parent in order to receive an exit pass to leave the school premises.
HEALTHY EATING AND FOOD POLICY
BSAK promotes Healthy Eating and we are a NUT FREE school. Please see the nursing handbook for more information on foods not allowed in school.
MEDICAL INFORMATION FOR SCHOOL TRIPS
At the start of each academic year you will receive a Medical Sports and Trip form via the school portal. It is an ADEK requirement that we receive a form for every student, without this form your child will not be able to go on any school trips or play for the school’s teams and attend off site events.
