Dental: The Mobile Dental Services van provides a free service for eligible students at the school when it is based at the school. At other times phone 0800 846 983.

Hearing and Vision: These specialists generally visit school at least once a year to conduct hearing and vision tests in certain age groups of the school. Pupils lacking in either of these two areas will have their difficulties documented and parents will be advised of remedial action necessary.

Health Nurse: The Public Health Nurse visits the school regularly. If a parent or teacher requests it, the nurse will follow up on any matter needing attention.

Allergies/Special Conditions: We appreciate knowing about any allergies for special medical conditions such as bee stings, hay fever, hearing loss, asthma, etc so that consideration can be given to the child. We keep a register of reactions for allergies; if medication is required, we need to know about it.

Special Advisers: We can use the services of various specialist advisers if there is a need. Requests can be made for speech therapy, reading recovery, psychologists, and visiting teachers.

Illnesses and Accidents: Accidents and illnesses at school are attended to in the sickbay by designated trained first aid staff. Parents are contacted, except in the case of minor injuries or illness.

Parents should inform the school of any health or associated problems affecting their child. Arrangements must be made through the school office for children needing medication during school hours.

Children who have coughs and colds or tummy bugs that result in vomiting or diarrhoea should remain off school for the first 24 hours after their symptoms end.
