Medicines - Please inform the school if your child has an ongoing medical condition, whether they are on regular medication or not. If your child requires an inhaler, please ensure that your child has an inhaler which is in date. Inhalers are kept in the school office so they are easily accessible. Parents are required to complete an asthma action plan.
Children finishing a course of medicine following an illness, may attend school if they are well enough. Medicines are kept in the office/medicine fridge and should be handed over to the office in the morning with a signed consent form. It is the responsibility of the parent to ensure the medicine is taken home.
Accident Reporting/First Aid - All accidents are noted in an accident log, indicating the cause and treatment given. Minor incidents resulting in bumps and grazes are treated with water wipes and/or ice packs; a plaster will be applied if appropriate. You will be notified with a wristband if treatment has been given.
If the child has had a minor bump on the head, we will message you via the MCAS parent app and monitor the child. You will be notified immediately by phone for any major incidents.
