ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Health Checks
Health checks for weight, hearing and sight take place regularly; parents are informed
in advance of these. The school nurse and dentist are available with help and advice.
Emergencies
Parents are required to give the school a contact persons’ address and telephone number to
enable immediate contact to be made if the child is unwell or has an accident. The school is
required to keep a record of any serious injuries to children.
Medicines
Medicines can be administered in school, upon completion of the appropriate paperwork
which is available at the school office.
Asthma
If your child has a day time inhaler, they should bring it to school, clearly labelled with name
and dosage. The children will keep their inhalers in their classroom available for use when
needed. All inhalers/medication should be sent home for parents to review at the end of every
half term.
No-Smoking
In line with the Local Authority policy, Woodchurch Road is a no-smoking zone. This includes
the school grounds as well as the school buildings. This rule has been made for the health
and safety of all members of the school community.
Car Parking and Site Safety
To safeguard your child, we keep traffic on site to a minimum, Accordingly, parking is permitted
on site ONLY for school employees and visitors on official school business. Parents should not
use the car park at any time.
Damage or Loss of Property
While we make every reasonable effort to avoid loss or damage to pupils’ property or clothing, parents are
advised that the school does not provide insurance cover for pupils’ clothes or property, and accidents do
sometimes happen in school. Under the rules governing the financial management of the school we are
not allowed to make any kind of ex-gratia payment for loss or damage to property.
