SMOKING IS NOT PERMITTED INSIDE THE SCHOOL BUILDING
AT ANY TIME OR ON THE PREMISES WHEN CHILDREN ARE PRESENT.
Medical and Dental Inspections
Our School Nurse visits us on a regular basis and the children have dental,
height and weight checks. If treatment is necessary you will be informed. The
nurse will meet with Parents, Welfare Officer and Inclusion Manager to discuss
and update care plans etc
Welfare
Each Class Teacher is directly
concerned with your child’s welfare. Our Welfare Officer and first-aiders help
any child in need of care or assistance during the day. There is a Welfare Room
with first aid facilities to deal with minor injuries. Our Welfare Officer also
monitors absence and children’s visit to the Welfare Room. Please don’t hesitate
to have a chat with her if you have concerns about your child’s welfare in
school. The Welfare Officer is available in the playground every morning, except
Wednesdays, when another first-aider is on duty.
Medicines
If your child needs to take any
prescribed medication during the school day please come to school in person and
sign a permission form, available from the Welfare Room. We cannot administer
medication without this authorisation.
The medication must be given to the
Welfare Officer at the beginning of the day and be clearly labelled with your
child’s name and the required dosage.
Asthma
We have a comprehensive asthma
policy and if your child suffers from asthma they will have access to their
inhaler all day, even if out of school e.g. on an educational visit or swimming.
Years 5 and 6 carry their own inhalers, but are advised to go to the medical
room to record when used. Parents are requested to keep a spare in the medical
room. The Welfare Officer keeps in regular contact with parents and a letter
goes home when the child has had 2 visits in one week. Please come to school to
speak personally to our Welfare Officer so that the correct procedures are put
in place.
Epipen
Epipens of named children are kept
in the medical room. We have annual training given by the school nurse to staff.
Sickness and Contagious Disease
Please inform us immediately if
your child has an infection or contagious disease such as measles, chicken pox
or mumps.
If your child has vomited or had
diarrhoea, please allow a period of 24 hours before they return to school or see
Welfare Officer for advice.
Illness Should your child fall ill
or have an accident we will make every effort to contact you and therefore need
up to date home, work and mobile telephone numbers. If you cannot be reached by
phone we will contact the person you have named on your contact form.
Should a serious accident or
illness occur which requires urgent treatment an ambulance will be called and
you will be contacted?
Head Lice Infestation
This is a common occurrence among
schoolchildren. Please examine your child’s hair at least once a week. Head lice
thrive on clean hair! Further advice can be obtained from our Welfare Officer or
from Mill Hill Health Centre (020 - 8959 - 3005).
We recommend that your child is
treated before returning to school. In all instances please inform the Welfare
Officer at school so we can monitor the situation.
Dogs in
the Playground
In the interests of our
children’s safety we have to ask you not to bring dogs onto school
premises. Some children can be scared of dogs even if they are
completely under control.
