School Health
We have a School Nurse on-site, who is responsible for both the health and wellbeing of our pupils, and the provision of First Aid. They liaise with all staff to ensure the health needs of the pupils are met during the school day.
The Nurse is on duty in their room, next to the Theatre, from 8:15 am to 4:15 pm, Monday to Wednesday. At other times, a team of trained First Aiders is always available and can be called upon in the event of an emergency, ensuring your child receives prompt care whenever needed.
Any pupil who feels unwell goes to see the Nurse or, as the circumstances demand, is treated in situ. If it is necessary to send a pupil home for medical reasons, the Nurse will contact the parents to arrange for them to collect their child. In the event of a pupil requiring hospital treatment, a member of staff will accompany the child and remain in attendance until a parent arrives.
To speak with the School Nurse, please call 01789 293795.
Medication
Pupils should not bring medication from home, without the school being informed in advance. This applies to all prescribed and over-the-counter medication, even medicated throat lozenges. If your child requires medication of any type during the day, the school must be informed, the correct paperwork completed, and the medication safely stored in the Nurses Room until required.
School Defibrillator
The school has a defibrillator located outside the Theatre entrance. The Nursing staff are responsible for ensuring it is in working order, with the pads checked monthly to confirm they are in date.
Both adult and children pads are available for use in an emergency.
