TASIS England has a team of nurses located in the Health and Well-being Center next to Thorpe House on the North Campus. The Health and Well-being Center is open daily at announced times, and the nurses are available to treat any injuries and illnesses that occur during the school day. A fully equipped hospital is within a 10-minute drive from the School.
The School Nurse may be used as a resource to discuss a child’s health, make home contact, and counsel children privately.
If a Lower School student becomes ill during the day, they will be brought to the Health and Well-being Center or the Lower School Office. The parents/guardians/emergency contact will be contacted once the nurse has made an assessment of the student’s condition. At this time, the student will either be allowed a period of rest, they will be treated, and/or parents will be asked to collect the student.
Note: No student will be allowed home without confirmation that a responsible adult will be present.
Parents of day students who bring medication to school are required to complete a form to identify the medication, explain the need, and the expected duration of the treatment. All medications must be dispensed by the nurses in the Health and Well-being Center. Students should not store any medications in their backpacks or self-administer any medications, prescription or otherwise. Medication needs to be in the original package where the name of the medication, dose, and expiry dates are all clearly readable.
When students have a fever, vomiting or diarrhea, we will ask that parents keep them home for 48 hours from their last episode. This is to prevent the spread of more contagious infections.
