Medical

• Children who require an inhaler or EpiPen must ensure that these are brought into school and labelled clearly with your child’s name.
• If your child no longer has asthma it is imperative that you let school know - if an inhaler is required on our records this inhaler MUST be in school.
• These need to be kept in school at all times.
• If your child is prescribed any medication, please speak to the school office.
