This evening you will receive a medical form to complete giving permission for us to give children any required medicines. Please could you ensure you fill in all of this form.
We can only take medicines (including asthma inhalers) that have been prescribed by a doctor and they must be in the original container with the pharmacy label on.
Medicines will then be kept by staff and given to the children as and when they are needed.

Children must do as they are asked, for their own safety and everyone else’s.
