School Nurse

 The School has a qualified nurse available on site throughout the School day, and the majority of members of staff are First Aid trained. The School Nurse (Mrs Ros Cash) takes direct care of minor medical treatment and decides if further advice should be sought for more serious problems. 

If a pupil is too unwell to remain at School or requires hospital treatment, the School Nurse will attempt to contact a parent/guardian. She can also advise pupils on medical matters and give the contact details for outside agencies who can help. Pupils who may require the help of a counsellor can obtain information about this service from the School Nurse. The School Nurse is also involved with health promotion initiatives and the delivery of health education lessons in Biology and PHSE. She organises the School’s vaccination programme (e.g. for Diphtheria, Tetanus and Polio) and also organises for outside companies to fit gum shields for the boys.

Please note that it is important for the School Office to have up-to-date information about contact details and medical circumstances in case of emergency.
