Reporting Absence
Please contact school on 0151 709 6769 as soon as possible if your child is ill, especially if your child has an infectious disease.
Illness at School
There are times when a child becomes unwell in school and they are not well enough to remain in school. When this happens we will call you and ask you to pick your child up from school as soon as possible.
Administering Medication
If your child is well enough to be in school but they have been prescribed medicine, we can administer medicine following the Local Authority guidelines. You need to visit the school office and complete and sign forms with Mr Haughton before we can administer medicine to your child. If the medicine is ongoing (e.g. asthma inhalers, tablets etc) it is your responsibility to ensure that medicine is available and in date, and you need to meet with Mr Haughton to complete a health care plan
Headlice
Head lice are very common particularly in school settings and it is not a reason to keep your child off school for. Parents/carers are advised to check their children’s hair regularly for signs of head lice. Treatments are available from pharmacies. If head lice is reported in a classroom, a letter will be sent home to advise all parents and carers to check their child’s hair and treat if necessary.
