Medical Information
School Nurse
School Medical Examinations are available through the School Nursing Core Programme. If you have any queries concerning medical examinations or any other health queries, you may contact the School Nurse, Karen Gudgeon at Grantham Health Clinic: telephone 01476 590805 Ext. 235.
Administration of medicines
Our staff may administer medicines for children who have a long-term condition such as diabetes, epilepsy, asthma and hayfever after careful consultation with parents and/ or medical practitioners.
We do not administer medicines at school for children who have a short-term illness. If your child needs medicine during the day you can come into the school to administer it yourself. However, please let us know in advance and report to the school office on arrival.
Sick and injured children
We will treat minor cuts and bruises but in the event of anything more serious, we will contact parents to collect their child and/or arrange transport if necessary.
Children who are suffering from minor ailments, e.g. headaches, nausea etc., will be allowed to sit in a quiet corner of the classroom whilst their parents/carers are contacted.
Please make sure we have your emergency contact information - and let us know if it changes.
If your child is sick, please do not send them to school and keep them at home at least 24 hours after the last time they were sick.
Please let us know if your child has any allergies, special treatments or diets by completing our Medical Information form and returning it to the School Office.
