PUPILS WITH MEDICAL NEEDS Any pupil who becomes unwell or injured during the school day is referred to Matron. If necessary, you will be contacted to discuss the best course of action. Medicines, including cough linctus, anti-histamine, paracetamol and ibuprofen preparations, will only be administered to children when there is permission to do so. The following preparations are kept at school and, unless the school has been informed otherwise may be administered to a pupil if considered appropriate: topical antiseptics; emollient skin creams; dressings Pupils are not normally permitted to carry medicines in school. If your son/daughter has an ongoing medical condition such as asthma, diabetes or allergies, please arrange to see Matron so that the most appropriate support can be provided throughout the school day. If your child is prescribed antibiotics, please ensure they have had 24 hours of the course before returning to school. If your child requires a prescription medication during the course of the school day a ‘short term medical needs administration of medication‘ form must be completed. Please see Matron for these forms, or they can also be collected from the school office. Medication or equipment can be safely stored in the medical room for use as necessary. Tel: 01794 513231
