Many pupils will, at some time in their school careers, need to take medication in school.\u00a0 For the vast majority this will be a short-term requirement, with pupils simply finishing a course of medication which has been prescribed for them by their family doctor.\u00a0 Other pupils have medical conditions such as asthma or diabetes which may require long-term support and, if their conditions are not properly managed by taking regular medication, their access to education could be limited.<\/p>\n

Parents are required to complete a form which then allows school to administer the medication to the child.\u00a0 All medication (other than inhalers) must be handed in to and collected from the school office. No medication (other than inhalers) should come to school in a child\u2019s school bag. Medication cannot be administered to a child unless the appropriate form is filled in and signed by a parent\/guardian.<\/p>\n

School cannot store medication for long periods of time, if your child is taking medication for a short period of time, parents are asked to supply weekly or monthly supplies of the medication.\u00a0 Medication which requires routine administration e.g creams, inhalers can be stored in school for longer periods, however it remains the responsibility of the parents to ensure that the medication is replaced before the expiry date.\u00a0 All medication must be in the original container and must have the name of the child, the name of the drug and its expiry date, the dosage \u2013 level and frequency.<\/p>\n

Prior to the end of the summer term all medication should be collected by an adult as we cannot store medication in school over this period.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Below are the most common forms required by parents, if your child has further medical needs or you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact school on 01241 465446 and ask to speak to Judith Connor, DHT.<\/p>\n
