If your child has a medical condition that requires medication or explanation, please attend a brief individual medical meeting in the school hall on Wednesday 30th April at  8.50am – 9.15am.

Please enter the school via the school office. You will be directed through to our Garden Room where you will meet with Mrs Bruen individually. All instructions and medicines including epipens, spare inhalers and travel sickness tablets (if required) should be given to Mrs Bruen on Wednesday 30th April at 8.50 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 Mrs Bruen on the morning of the trip at drop-off.

If your child needs travel tablets, please supply both the outbound and return tablets to Mrs Bruen.  She 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. 

What should I do with my child’s Epipen?

Epipens will be the responsibility of the adult first aiders who will accompany the children.  However, if your child uses an Epipen, please supply an additional/ spare one in a named insulated carry bag to be given to Mrs Bruen on the day of the trip. Please also attend the medical meeting on Wednesday 1st May at 8.45am so that school held epipens and care plans can be checked with parents. Insulated cool wallets, which keep epipens at a cool even temperature in hot weather, may be purchased from the following website https://friouk.com/product/frio-duo/
