Some people lie online. Do not have online mates you have not personally talked to first. It’s never too late to tell someone if something makes you feel uncomfortable. There are people who can help. Report online abuse to your parents and/or teacher.

The Medical Room is open to all students all day, to go to the medical room you must: Get a mark from your class teacher Get a mark from your class teacher Be given a note by your class teacher Be given a note by your class teacher If any of these things have not been done you will be turned away. Unless it is an EMERGENCY

Once you have been seen by a member of staff, if you are well enough you will be sent straight back to class. If you get any worse throughout the day, speak to your class teacher and they will let you return to the medical room.

If the member of staff feels you need to go home, parents or guardians will be contacted for you to be collected from school. No student will be allowed to leave school without a parent guardian, this is the law.

Being sent home if your condition is not serious is wasting your time which is impacting on vital learning. It is also wasting time that could be spent with situations that are serious. Be responsible and make the right choices!
