Health & Welfare

When in school, be assured that your child will be well cared for.  Please keep us fully informed of any changes in daytime contacts in case your child is ill in school.  This is particularly important in respect of changes of telephone number.

Medicines

School cannot issue any medication to children except in the case of chronic conditions such as asthma, diabetes, epilepsy and certain allergies, eg. nut allergy.  Written information from parents concerning details of the condition and the treatments will be required for these conditions.  All medicines should be clearly labelled with child’s name & dosage. Please contact the school office for further information.

The school’s admissions criteria apply to children with disabilities.
