Medicines

If your child needs to have medicine administrered at school it will be either: 

a) for chronic illness or a long-term condition, such as asthma

b) where a child is recovering from a short term illness, but is well enough to return to school.

All medicine must be handed to the school office by parents/carers, who must complete the appropriate consent documents. For further information, please see our Administering Medicines policy.

Pastoral care

We are a small school with a happy family atmosphere. The welfare and pastoral care of our pupils is the responsiblity of the whole staff. This links with our Wellbeing Warrior golden thread. Class teachers and Teaching Assistants are concerned with the educational progress and also the personal and social development of each child. We combine high expectations with a sympathetic approach. However, problems sometimes arise and we involve parents at an early stage rather than leave it until later. We have a trained ELSA (Emotional Literacy Support Assistant) that teachers can refer pupils to for further support.  If you have any worries or queries, please do not hesitate to contact us.

 Accident Procedure

Children are made aware of any potentially hazardous situations but it is inevitable that accidents will occur. In the case of minor bumps and bruises, staff will deal with them as a matter of course. If the injury is more serious and we consider further action  to be neccessary, parents will be informed immediately. It is important that we have an up to date emergency contact number. Please let us know if this changes during the year.

Parents will always be informed if their child has had a head injury of any kind.
