Medicals
The school
nurse makes routine visits at various times throughout the school
year to check eyesight, hearing, weight etc. The school nurse is
always willing to discuss any queries you may have and can be contacted
via the school
office.
Medicines
If your child
has a recurring or infectious illness please would you let us know.
In agreement with the regulations laid down by the Health and Safety
at Work Act, we are advised not to administer medicines unless written
permission is granted by the parents. Should it be necessary for
your child to receive medication during school hours, then the medicine
should be clearly labelled with your child's name and full details
of dosage. The school accepts no liability for such items, and all
members of staff have the right to refuse to administer the medicine.
Forms must be obtained from the school
office.
Illness in
school
We do not have
the facilities for looking after sick children. In the event of illness,
we will try to contact parents immediately. You should ensure that
we have up-to-date information on how to contact you or a relative/friend/neighbour
in an emergency.
Health
And Safety
Fire instruction
notices are posted in every area, and regular fire practices are
held every term. A copy of the Health and Safety regulations is available
for parents to peruse at the school. If you require further details,
please contact our Health and Safety Representative Officer via the
School Office.
Photographs
The children and staff use digital photography to record many aspects of the children’s work and interaction with their peers. These are used solely by the school in the use of display, assessment and for conveying information to parents in publications such as the Prospectus and Radstock Review.
