First Aid
Basic first aid is given at school when necessary by qualified First Aiders. If an accident needs hospital attention we will make every effort to contact parents. We ask parents to ensure all contact details are kept up-to-date so that we can contact you in an emergency. All injuries are recorded.
Medical and Other Issues
When children start school, parents are asked to complete a form outlining any medical history including any allergies suffered, that we should be aware of. It is important that this record including contact details is kept up- to-date.
Safeguarding
We have a Safeguarding Policy which explains how the school works to ensure that children are thriving and safe. We take safeguarding and the protection of children very seriously. If we have any concerns about a child’s welfare, it is the Headteacher’s responsibility to contact Social Services. If you have any concerns about the well- being of a child please inform us in confidence immediately.
Health and Safety
The school ensures that it maintains a safe and secure environment for all children by taking seriously its responsibilities as set out by the DfE.
Risk assessments are carried out for all areas of the school open to pupil use and for all school trips. Fire drills take place twice a term, as well as annual checks and electrical testing. The school building meets all cur- rent regulations for Health & Safety. Pupils are super- vised throughout the school and on school trips to ensure their welfare, health and safety.
All members of the school’s staff have been vetted by the governmental Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS). We take our safeguarding commitments to pupils and families very seriously.
