What to do if your child is unwell: If your child is unwell and unable to attend school, please call the school office by 9.00am to report their absence.  If your child is suffering from a sick bug, they should be kept away from school for 48 hours after the last episode.

Prescribed medicines: Prescribed medicines should be taken outside of school hours if at all possible.  If a prescribed medicine needs to be given during the school day then you may come to the office to administer the medication.

Please note that staff can only administer prescribed asthma pumps and auto-injectors and that an authorisation form must be completed by a parent/carer and provided to the school office.

Bexley 0-19 Children's Public Health Service: The Bexley 0-19 service is delivered by school nurses and community nursery nurses.  The nursing team can be contacted on 0300 330 5777 or via email bromh.bexley0to19@nhs.net.

Within school each year, Reception pupils are measured for height and weight, and undergo vision and hearing tests.  Year 6 pupils are also measured for height and weight.  Nasal Flu vaccinations are offered to pupils in Reception to Year 6 between October and December.  

The nursing team have chosen to use social media as a way for parents, children and young people to engage with any nursing advice.  Contained within the Bexley 0 to 19 website are separate sections for 0-4 year olds, 5-10 year olds and 11-19 year olds, as well as a resources section and other health and advice sources.  Additionally, older children are able to live chat to a Health Visitor or School Nurse and advice is given via email.  No clinical information is given in this chat function.  This service is available Monday-Friday 9am-5pm.

Please keep the school up to date with any medical needs for your child (e.g. nut allergies, asthma), and ensure all appropriate medication is in date and handed in at the school office.
