Health in school

Medicines

The office staff can keep and administer some prescribed medication, after a meeting to discuss and agree a Health Care plan for your child. Inhalers for children with asthma can be kept at school and administered to your child when needed.  

Please complete a Medical Consent form if your child needs to bring in an inhaler or a health care plan has been agreed to administer a prescribed medication to your child.

Return the form to the office with the medication. Mark the medication with:

  • your child’s name,
  • the dosage and
  • times to be administered. 

Only adults should deliver and collect medication from the office.  Children should not keep any medication or administer themselves.

Please read the Information letter here for full details of our policy for administering medication

Inhalers

  • Please tell your child’s class teacher if they have an inhaler in school.
  • Ensure you supply us with an inhaler that is in date.

Please contact us if you have any concerns about medication. We deal with all enquiries in confidence.
