Medication

Legislation does not permit staff to administer tablets such as paracetamol and aspirin. In the case of long term medication for pupils who suffer from illnesses such as diabetes, epilepsy, hay-fever and asthma, only medicines prescribed by a registered medical practitioner and labelled by a chemist with the pupil’s name and the amount and frequency of the dosage will be accepted into the school.

Arrangements for the safe-keeping and taking of medication on the school site will be undertaken in conjunction with the appropriate staff.
