St Theresa's Catholic Primary School

Informing us of Medical Issues

When children are admitted and parents complete our electronic admissions form please ensure you inform us of any medical information that school needs to know about your child.  A member of school staff will then contact you to discuss your child’s needs in detail.

If your child is one of our current pupils and they developsa medical issue please ensure you inform the school office ASAP.

Administering Medicines in School

If your child is on any prescribed medication, we are happy to administer this in school if you come to the school office beforehand and complete the Permission to Administer Medicines form.  Medicine must be clearly marked with the prescription label showing your child’s name.

Asthma

If your child has Asthma you are required to supply an inhaler to be kept in school clearly marked with the prescription label showing your child’s name.  The inhaler is kept in the classroom.  We encourage children to be able to use their inhaler independently.  Please can you see the school office to complete the relevant Asthma forms and a Healthcare plan so we are fully informed of their needs.

Seasonal Flu Vaccine

Each winter the NHS School Aged Immunisation Service visit our school to adminster the seasonal flu vaccine to our pupils in years Reception to Year 6 if their parents wish them to have it.  To enable their child to have the vaccine in school parents are required to complete the NHS online consent form.  We will put the link on the school APP when it is time to complete it.
