Your Child’s Health

Immunisations

Asthma

If your child has asthma, we will need a named inhaler and spacer (if required) to be left in school at all times. Please order spares of each now so you have it in time for your child starting school.  We will also need instructions from the doctor about dosage. This will either be on the named label on the inhaler box, or on your child’s asthma plan. If you child does not already have a plan please print the attached and complete it with the doctor/asthma nurse the next time your child has an appointment. Bring the completed form into school and we will keep a copy to help support your child in school.

Allergies

If your child has an allergy, it is very important that school are aware.  If your child develops an allergy, please inform school immediately.

If your child requires medication for their allergy, we will need this to be kept in school. at all times. Please order/buy spare medication now, so you have have it in time for your child starting school.

If your child has an Epi-pen, please contact school direct so we can discuss this further,.

PTFA

We are lucky to have an amazingly supportive PTFA group within school comprising of Mums, Dads, Carers, Grandparents and teachers. A lovely friendly group who are fab to work with. Unfortunately, they are not able to arrange events for the foreseeable future, but if you would like to be involved at a later date, it is a great way to meet people and support school.
