During their primary school years, pupils have medical check ups.  Vision and hearing examinations also take place.  P1 pupils have a medical examination by the school doctor or nurse.  Parents are notified and invited to attend.  In P7 pupils also have a medical.

 General dental inspections are made during each session.  Parents may choose to have their child treated by the school dentist or by a private practitioner.

The school nurse, Mrs. McClune, can give advice to pupils, parents or staff if requested.

At the beginning of each session parents are asked to give emergency contacts and any relevant information about their child’s health.

If a pupil has an accident or becomes ill he/she will be seen by the school’s First Aider.  All incidents are recorded.  If necessary a parent is contacted.  If he/she is unavailable the emergency contact will be called.  Only in extreme circumstances would a doctor be called or a child is taken to hospital without a parent/emergency contact being present
