Supporting Children With Medical Needs
We fully support all students with medical conditions within the Academy and ask that you share any relevant information with us to ensure we can care for your child. Any child who is required to take medication during the day or who has a specific medical condition may require a care plan. Please speak to Sue Farrah in the first instance.
