Parents/carers play a massive role in supporting us in Gairloch High School with regards to ensuring that we continue our commitment to achieving excellence and equity for every pupil and that we get it right for every child. This page contains important information to support parents/carers along with links to our Policies | Handbook page.
Extract from school handbook with links to form 1a and 1b:
Under no circumstances can non-prescribed medications be administered in schools. This includes paracetamol, aspirin and ibuprofen.
As a parent/carer, if you wish a prescribed medication to be administered by a member of staff, you should print off FORM - Admin1a, complete and sign it and return it to the school as soon as possible. Verbal permissions are not permitted.
As a parent/carer, if you wish your child to carry and administer their own prescribed medication, you should print off FORM - Admin 1b, complete and sign it and return it to the school as soon as possible. Verbal permissions are not permitted.
In addition to the above, if your child has any form of medical protocol or individualised health care plan that we are not aware of, please let the school know of this at your earliest convenience
