CARE & WELLBEING

The school nurse visits the school at regular intervals and is always happy to discuss your child's medical problems with you.

 

We ask that if medicines have to be sent to school, you must fill in a medication form available from the office giving consent for the school to administer the medicine. Only prescribed medication should be sent and only if it is required to be taken 4 times a day.

 

It is very important that you provide us with an emergency contact number and notify us immediately if there is any change of address or telephone number.

 

The school follows the guidelines set out by Kirklees Education Authority on disciplinary matters.  We have our own Positive Behaviour policy and a guidance booklet ‘ Building Blocks for Life Skills’ designed for parents and carers and  consisting of policies in a concise form relating to care and well being of pupils.  The school rules are minimal and always apply to the safety and well being of your child.  Incidents will be fully investigated and appropriate action taken.

 

The school acknowledges that on occasions, staff will be faced with children who lose control or refuse to carry out reasonable instructions. It is accepted that in such circumstances it may be necessary to physically intervene or to remove a child from a situation. 

School staff received training from Claremont Behaviour Support Service in May 2007.  The school holds a list of all fully trained staff.

‘Team Teach’ is a Kirklees approved method of training and is used throughout Kirklees.  It is a good example of positive behaviour management, 95% of which is de-escalation strategies which enhances the whole school approach to positive behaviour management.

N.B. Physical Intervention Report form to be completed following an incident.
