The school has a number of members of staff trained in Paediatric and General First Aid and, where appropriate, staff are trained in managing the medication and other treatments of pupils with medical conditions.
We prefer not to have medicines in school. However, if your child needs to take medicine either please make arrangements for an adult to come into school and administer it. Or school staff can administer prescribed medicine provided an authorisation form has been completed. These forms are available from the school office. We are not allowed to administer non-prescribed medication. Children’s medical conditions are recorded on the register. If appropriate, please ask for a form so that we can make the necessary arrangements for your child.
ASTHMA
The school works closely with the East Riding Asthma nurse and follows the Asthma protocols provided. If your child has an unusual asthma protocol we will ask for details to be confirmed in writing by a medical professional. Children’s inhalers are readily available for them to use.
Healthcare plan – to be filled out for any medical condition that the school needs to be aware of if it could potentially require medical attention during the school day.
