Long-Term Healthcare Needs

We would like to ensure that any student identified as having a medical or mental health care need has an up-to-date and accurate health care plan in place, informing the school of the young person’s care needs, medication, and any support that may be required.

If your child has a health care need, whether physical or mental, you will need to read our Medical Conditions Policy and complete an Individual Health Care Plan (IHCP document below) with clear information and guidance. This will ensure our records are accurate and up to date. Please email it to either info@stmarys.net (for on-roll students) or admissions@stmarys.net (for new students). Please keep a copy electronically so you can update it as and when required.

• If you need medication or medical equipment to be stored in the First Aid room at the Student Hub (e.g. inhalers, EpiPens, diabetes supplies) please complete the “Administering Medication Form” below.
• If your child has been prescribed an EpiPen, please complete and return the “AAI Consent Form” below.

Short-Term Healthcare Needs

Please inform us if your child has a short-term healthcare need. This includes the need for medication any injury or short-term condition affecting their mobility (crutches or sling).

Medication

Whilst we are happy to provide the appropriate medical care regarding medication on school premises and during school hours, all medication (whether for temporary or permanent conditions) must be clearly labelled with student name, dosage, quantity and must be within date. All medication must be accompanied by a completed “Administering Medication Form”. 

It is the responsibility of parents and carers to provide the school with the necessary, up-to-date information on their child’s condition (yearly and if healthcare needs change) and to provide the appropriate prescribed medication.
