Illness in school

We do have members of staff who are qualified in giving first aid for minor accidents.

When children are taken ill or have an accident in school every attempt is made to locate and inform parents immediately.

It is important that the school has the telephone number of the parents' home and/or work addresses. Parents should notify the school if there are any medical details of children which should be known if emergency treatment has to be given e.g. allergy to penicillin. Children are not taken to hospital or casualty departments without parental knowledge or permission, until attempts to contact the parents have been unsuccessful.
