Illness and Injury<br />
Insurance<br />
All children are covered by a separate accident policy while they are attending<br />
school. Further details may be obtained from the school office.<br />
First Aid<br />
First aid will be administered to children by a teacher should an accident<br />
occur. In the event of a serious accident appropriate action will be taken<br />
and parents will be notified immediately.<br />
Illness<br />
It is advisable that your child does not remain at school due to illness,<br />
parents will be notified and will need to make suitable arrangements.<br />
If your child is kept at home due to illness, it is not necessary to inform<br />
the school if the child will only be away for two or three days, if however<br />
the period is to be extended then it would be appropriate to let the<br />
school know the estimated length of absence. On returning to school you<br />
are asked to provide the school with a note.<br />
Medicines<br />
It is sometimes necessary for parents to send medication to school for<br />
their child.<br />
All medication needs to be handed in to the office at the start of each<br />
school day and collected at the end of the day. Permission form is available<br />
from the office or on our website.<br />
Full details of each dose of medication that is administered by an office<br />
staff member, is recorded in a register.<br />
If your child requires constant medication a note of authorisation from<br />
your doctor and signed by parents is required.<br />
Emergency contact details<br />
It is vital that you provide the administration staff with up to date emergency<br />
contact details, particularly mobile phone numbers.
