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 has four private sick bays, including one equipped for disabled use, disabled toilet facilities, a nurses’ office, a doctor’s office, and an overnight “on-call” room for nurses who give round-the-clock care for our boarding community. A fully equipped hospital is within a ten-minute drive from the School.

The Health and Well-being Center is open daily at announced times, and the nurses are available to treat injuries and illnesses that occur during the school day. Day student medical appointments must be made by the day student parents/ guardians with their local doctor.

The school nurse may be used as a resource to discuss a child’s health, make home contact, and counsel children privately. The Health and Well-being Center and School Nurse are not available during the school vacation periods.

Middle School Procedure

If a middle school student becomes ill during the day, they will be asked to report to the nurse after informing the Middle School Office. The parents/guardians/emergency contact will be contacted once the nurse has assessed the student’s condition. A decision will be made based on the assessment of whether a student should be collected by a parent/guardian or returned to class after treatment. All day students need to have a UK-based emergency contact if both parents are unavailable to collect their child during the school day.

Note: No student will be allowed to go home without confirmation that a responsible adult will be present.

Student Medications

Parents of students who bring medication to school are required to complete the Student Controlled Medication Form identifying the prescription or over-the-counter drug and explaining the need and expected duration of the treatment. Students should not store any medications in their school lockers, backpacks, or dorm rooms nor self-administer any medications, prescription or otherwise.
