Student Welfare
At The Misbourne we are committed to the welfare of our students and want to make sure that they are fit, healthy and ready to learn. We work with parents and other health care professionals to support students with medical needs whilst ensuring that other students are not put at any unnecessary risk.
Our Student Welfare Officer assists students who become ill during the school day and deals with emergencies that occur in school. Students with any medical conditions requiring diagnosis should be taken to their GP by their parents. If your son/daughter sustains an injury please ensure they are fit to attend school.
It is the responsibility of parents to provide the school with accurate and up-to-date information about students’ medical conditions and/or allergies. We ask parents of students with any medical conditions or allergies to ensure that the school is aware of them and informed of any changes as they occur.
Please do not spread infection!
If you are aware that your son/daughter is unwell and not fit to attend school please keep them at home. If your child is experiencing vomiting or diarrhoea, please keep them off school for 48 hours after their last bout to avoid the spread of viruses. If your child has a fever, please keep them at home for 24 hours after the fever has subsided.
Please contact the Attendance Officer on 01494 867843 or email attendance@themisbourne.co.uk before 09:00 to advise that your child is unwell and will not be attending school on each day of their illness.
Keeping your child's information up to date
Please use the appropriate form below to keep us informed about your child's medical needs.
Healthcare Plan for Medical Conditions 24-26
This form is for students with long-term medical conditions (e.g., asthma, severe allergies, or diabetes). It gives us the detailed information we need to keep your child safe at school, including emergency procedures and daily care instructions.
Family agreement for school to administer medication
This form allows academy staff to give your child medication during the school day. All medication must be provided to the school office in its original, labelled container, along with this completed form and clear instructions.
Request for student to carry their own medication
This form is for students who can self-manage their own medication, such as an asthma inhaler or an EpiPen. It serves as an agreement that allows your child to carry their own medication with them, ensuring immediate access when needed.
