Medication

Long-Term Medication

If your child requires regular, long-term access to medication, please complete the 'Medication Consent Form' below. This should be registered with Mrs Knowles at the school office along with the medication. Medication will be kept in school and must be in the original packaging with the original pharmacy labels. Such medications include reliever (blue) inhalers and adrenaline autoinjector pens.

Short-Term Medication

If a pupil needs to complete a short course of medication, such as antibiotics, it is preferred that this is done outside school hours. If this is impossible and/or detrimental to the child's health, then parents/carers should register the medication with Mrs Knowles at the school office. Medication must be in the original packaging with the original pharmacy labels, together with a spoon if necessary. A "Medication Consent Form" will also need to be completed.

Please Note

No member of staff will be liable for any ill effects of administering medication so long as reasonable care has been taken. Administering medication is on a voluntary basis. Non-prescription medicines are only allowed in school if the exceptional circumstances have been discussed with Mrs Knowles and agreed by Mrs Fuller or another senior member of school staff.
