Medical Conditions
At Fairway Primary School we are an inclusive community that aims to support and welcome pupils with medical conditions.
We aim to provide all pupils’ with a medical condition the same opportunities as others at our school.
We will help to ensure children can:
- be healthy
- stay safe
- feel part of their local community
- be confident and able to meet their goals
We do this by:
- Ensuring all staff understand their duty of care to pupils, in the event of an emergency.
- All staff being confident in knowing what to do in an emergency.
- Understanding that certain medical conditions are serious and can be potentially life-threatening, particularly if ill managed or misunderstood.
- Having an understanding of the importance of medication being taken as prescribed.
- working in partnership with the School Nursing (SN) /Health Visiting (HV) Service who offers the school an annual update. If a new medical condition arises over the year, then the SN/HV will provide an update or give advice on the most appropriate service to deliver it.
