Health and Wellbeing

Students can only learn effectively and enjoy their learning and their experience at school if they are as healthy and happy as they can be.  To this end we will provide a range of services to support their physical and emotional wellbeing.

Medical: We have a qualified First Aider who runs our student services and attends to medical emergencies.   She also also sees students and staff who become ill or get injured during the school day.

A number of other staff who are qualified in First Aid can substitute for her and act locally. We run regular update training sessions for Epipen administration.

Where we are notified that students have or develop a chronic medical condition, we work with the student and their parents to establish a Care Plan which will ensure that the student can participate safely in as many of the school’s activities as possible.

School Nurse: We have access to the services of a School Nurse but do not have one on site all the time.  Referrals to the School Nurse are usually through a student's Head of Year.
