Dothill Primary School

Medication During School Hours
If your child requires three doses of medication per day, these should be administered at home - before and after school.  If your child requires four doses per day, we can administer one dose at school, provided the medication is:
• prescribed by a doctor, dentist, or pharmacist,
• clearly labelled with your child’s name and dosage, and
• accompanied by a completed and signed MED1 form (available on the school website or from the office).
Medication is usually administered at approximately 12:00pm.
Please refer to the Medication Policy for full details and to download the MED1 form.

Ongoing Medical Needs
If your child has an ongoing medical condition, please refer to the relevant medical needs policy. We encourage all parents to speak with school staff about any medical needs. We will invite you to a meeting to complete a Health Care Plan, ensuring we fully understand your child’s condition and how best to support them.

If your child has asthma, please refer to the Asthma Policy on the website. Inhalers and EpiPens can be kept in school, but we must have the appropriate completed paperwork to authorise their use.

Sun Protection
During warmer months, please apply sun cream to your child before school. If additional suncream is needed during the day, your child may bring a clearly labelled bottle to school and must apply it themselves. Please do not bring aerosols. For more information, please refer to our Sun Policy on the school website.
