Where a child needs prescription medication in the Academy, we must have a completed form with all the medication details, giving us permission to administer the medication. The most common forms of prescription medication required in the Academy are inhalers, Epi-pens and eczema cream.

We also have an emergency Epi-pen and inhaler stored within the Academy. These are for use by pupils with diagnosed asthma or who already have a prescribed Epi-pen for severe allergies. You will need to provide permission for their use.

Antibiotics prescribed three times a day, should be taken at home. For example, in the morning, after-school and in the evening. We only accept antibiotics in the Academy that are prescribed four times a day. Any short-term medication such as this will need to be signed in and out by their parent/carer each day.

What you need to do if your child has required medication:

• Download and fill in the form below or collect a paper copy from the Academy office
• Bring the medication and the form into the Academy office in it's original box with the prescription label on
• We will then check it against the form, have it signed off by a senior member of staff and store it securely
