Most of our school staff are trained to administer first aid, with refresher training done annually.
Our office staff are trained to administer medicine in school, this includes prescribed and non-prescribed medicine (eg Calpol). In order to safely administer medicine we require a parent to sign a form giving consent and the full details ie medicine name/time/dosage. Prescription medicine must have a label on clearing showing the child's name, name of medicine, dosage and frequency, and any special storage arrangements.
We required all medical information to be declared upon admission to Zaytouna, and should anything change then it is parent responsibility to inform school.
If your child is asthmatic, we will require a spare one to be kept in school, it is also a benefit for younger children if they have a spacer.
If your child has an allergy, please ensure we have a copy of their medicine plan (in particular nut allergies), along with two epipens.
If your child is absent from school for a period of time relating to medical, we will ask for proof of medical care or medicine being obtained.
School and home need to work together to ensure children attend school most of the time, medical conditions or allergies should not be a barrier for losing out on education and taking part in extra-curricular activities.
If you have any concerns about your child's health please speak to a member of staff, we will try and help as much as possible.
