If my child has a medical condition requiring medicine, when should I meet the teacher and bring it in?
Whilst most adults on the trip are certified first aiders and first responders
Mrs Bruen is the appointed first aider for the Year 4 trip and ,Mrs Kidwai and Miss Beeney will be administering medicines during the Year 5 residential trip.
If your child has a medical condition that requires medication, please attend a brief individual medical meeting in the school hall on Wednesday 1st May at 8.45 am.
Please enter the school via the school office. All instructions and medicines including epipens, spare inhalers and travel sickness tablets (if required) should be given to the staff on Wednesday 1st May at 8.45 am. Please ensure all appropriate medicine is supplied, even if your child suffers from only mild symptoms of asthma, or eczema, as indicated on your consent form. All medicines that children require must be clearly labelled, be in their original packaging and with the child’s name and full written instructions for administration and dosage. Only new treatments or medicines, which cannot be handed in before the half-term, such as antibiotics, should be given to the staff on the morning of the trip at drop-off.
If your child needs travel tablets, please supply both the outbound and return tablets to the member of staff. They will administer both outbound and return tablets prior to the journeys. Epipens and inhalers will be taken from school on Tuesday morning and stored in insulated medical backpacks.
