Prescribed Medicine: Parents: If pupils need to take any form of medical prescription during the day, please call at the school office to sign a medicine consent form. No medicine is to be taken to classrooms or left in school bags, as this could present a danger to other children. It is the child's responsibility to come to the office for the administration of the medication.
