Medicines in School
Under certain circumstances it may be necessary for children to receive medication during the school day:
·         In cases of long term complaints or chronic illness eg asthma, diabetes etc
·         Cases where children recovering from short term illness are well enough to return to school but are still receiving a course of antibiotics, cough  medicine etc.
In order to be able to do this the prescribed medicine must be taken to the office for permission to be granted, and for a consent form to be signed.
Please note that, where permission has been granted, staff cannot guarantee to administer medicine at a particular time (unless this is part of a health care plan). If you require medicine to be given at a particular time you will be able to come to school to administer your child’s medicine
