Medication

The school will dispense medication prescribed by a doctor on completion of a parental permission form available from the school first aid team.

Illness

If a pupil is sick or suffers with an episode of diarrhoea during the school day, the child will be removed from the classroom and their parents will immediately be notified by a member of staff in order for them to be collected.

In accordance with our Attendance Procedure and Buckinghamshire Council’s policy, all children must remain at home until 48 hours after the last episode of sickness or diarrhoea.  Many children will feel much better before 48 hours has elapsed, but this rule for the pupil to remain off site, is in order to reduce the risk of any bug/infection spreading further within the school community.

We understand that this can cause inconvenience or frustration if the pupil does not display any further signs of symptoms, however in order to maintain high welfare and hygiene standards for both the child, other pupils and staff, we require all parents to adhere to this rule.
