Also make us aware of any additional needs.i.e. sleep walking, bet wetting and dietary requirements. The form is your consent for us to administer any medicines your child may need whilst we are away. It is important information in the event of an emergency.

Also, please add to the form, pain relief like calpol and ibuprofen. We will provide these (rather than take 33 bottles of Calpol with us!) If your child has anything different, please provide your own bottle. Medicines that your child will need for the residential must come to school on the Monday morning. Even if your child has no regular medication, please return it with consent for calpol and ibuprofen.

You children are treated like our own! We will give Calpol, monitor and let you know if they don’t improve or feel worse. A phone call will come from myself if they are unwell and we can discuss what you would like to do next.

In the highly unlikely event that your child has an accident and needs to be taken to hospital in an ambulance, the following protocols are in place so we can act quickly and efficiently to ensure your child is the priority. 1 – Ambulance rung. 2 – Mrs Lynas to inform Mrs Donnelly of accident. 3 – Mrs Donnelly to ring parents. 4 – Mrs Lynas will ring with updates.
