Accidents / Illness while at School

If a child has a minor injury i.e. minor cuts and grazes, a qualified first aider will administer first aid and allow the child time to recover in a quiet place with supervision. If the member of staff feels the parents need to be informed, the details of the incident will be recorded on the incident form which will be given to the parents and a copy will be also kept into the school incident book.

In the event of a serious accident or illness involving a pupil, they will be transported to hospital either by taxi or ambulance, as appropriate, and the parent/carer informed immediately.
