It is a legal requirement and a key priority of our safeguarding policy and procedures that we keep records of attendance for all pupils.
If your child has an infection your doctor will advise when it is safe to return to school. In the case of sickness and diarrhoea (as per our Absence Policy) we ask that you keep your child at home for at least 48 hours after their last bout of symptoms, to ensure full recovery before mixing with other children at school. This follows Health Protection Agency guidelines.
In the case of illness or injury whilst at school parents will be contacted by telephone. Head injuries will be communicated by a text and telephone call depending on the severity of the injury. Please insure that the school has up to date telephone numbers for such emergencies and that contacts can collect your child if necessary. If we are unable to contact parents or carers, we will call other contacts provided.
If your child needs medication during the school day, for example antibiotics, you are most welcome to come into school to administer these. Please give prior notice to the School/Early Years office that you are doing so. We are only able to administer medication that is prescribed to the child, this includes liquid paracetamol.
If your child has a particular problem which requires regular medication or specialist help, please make an appointment to discuss this with the Headteacher.
Children who need inhalers will need to keep one at School/Nursery and take them when required. Children should be trained to use their own asthma medication. All inhalers must be clearly labelled with the child's name. If your child does require an inhaler at School/Nursery, please call into the School or Early Years office to complete the required paperwork.
